HICKS CITES ‘LACK OF<br />

ADEQUATE FUNDING’<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

SPENCER — David<br />

Prouty High School has<br />

been put on probation.<br />

In a letter addressed to<br />

Town Administrator Paul<br />

Guida, dated April 16,<br />

Spencer/East Brookfield<br />

Regional School District<br />

Superintendent Ralph<br />

Hicks explained, “A number<br />

of issues clearly point<br />

to a lack of adequate funding.”<br />

The probation status,<br />

which was h<strong>and</strong>ed down<br />

by the Commission on<br />

Public Secondary Schools<br />

in late March, is the result<br />

of the report put together<br />

by the New Engl<strong>and</strong><br />

Association of Schools<br />

<strong>and</strong> Colleges (NEASC)<br />

after its recent visit to the<br />

school earlier this year.<br />

Hicks made it clear in a<br />

telephone interview with<br />

the New Leader that<br />

despite being put on probation,<br />

David Prouty High<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

SPENCER — Faced with the<br />

prospect receiving no funding from<br />

the town next year, the Parks <strong>and</strong><br />

Recreation Department will turn to<br />

fund raising <strong>and</strong> fee increases to<br />

keep its summer programs going.<br />

The department’s plan also<br />

means Director of Recreation <strong>and</strong><br />

Cultural Services James Duggan’s<br />

position will not be funded after<br />

June 30.<br />

To help fund the town’s spending<br />

plan for next year <strong>and</strong> its assessment<br />

to the Spencer-East<br />

WEST BROOKFIELD — When West<br />

Brookfield’s Asparagus Festival gathers<br />

its green <strong>and</strong> festive self on the common<br />

on May 17, the organizers are asking<br />

local children of elementary school age<br />

to participate in several events, including<br />

a parade, frog jumping contest <strong>and</strong><br />

maypole dance.<br />

The festival, now in its sixth year, celebrates<br />

the fact that Deiderick<br />

Leertouwer, a Dutch ambassador to<br />

New Hampshire, spent some time in<br />

West Brookfield, where he eventually<br />

succumbed to a fatal illness. His gravestone,<br />

in the early<br />

“Indian” cemetery near<br />

Lake Wickaboag, bears<br />

the legend, “he brought<br />

asparagus to America.”<br />

It is sponsored by the<br />

Quaboag Historical<br />

Society <strong>and</strong> the West<br />

Brookfield Historical<br />

Commission.<br />

When the idea of a<br />

springtime festival cele-<br />

HOW TO USE<br />

brating Leertouwer’s<br />

tasty gift was conceived,<br />

the committee determined that<br />

the party should include celebrants<br />

from all age groups. With<br />

the aid of the town’s cultural<br />

council, West Brookfield schoolchildren<br />

were invited to wear<br />

costumes or hats somehow related<br />

to the asparagus theme <strong>and</strong><br />

form a parade around the common.<br />

Most of the young participants<br />

created, as a school art<br />

project, a paper hat or asparagus<br />

crown. A king <strong>and</strong> queen were<br />

crowned, <strong>and</strong> participants<br />

received a small prize. The<br />

parade was held early in the<br />

day’s festivities, disappointing<br />

some whose Saturday mornings<br />

involved sports activities.<br />

Last year, the parade was<br />

exp<strong>and</strong>ed to include children<br />

from throughout the area.<br />

According to council cochairman<br />

Joan Veinot,<br />

letters are again being<br />

sent to local schools, inviting<br />

kindergarten <strong>and</strong> elementary<br />

grade children to<br />

wear costumes, hats, or<br />

decorate bicycles or other<br />

vehicles (cart, wagon,<br />

wheelbarrow, doll carriage,<br />

etc.) <strong>and</strong> plan to<br />

parade around the common<br />

at 1 p.m. There will<br />

be prizes, of course, <strong>and</strong><br />

an asparagus king <strong>and</strong> queen will be<br />

crowned.<br />

A Frog Jumping Contest, new last<br />

year, attracted a large number of lively<br />

participants <strong>and</strong> will be repeated this<br />

year. Contestants are asked to bring<br />

their own frogs in a pail of water from<br />

the brook or pond it lives in, <strong>and</strong> to<br />

return the frog to its home following the<br />

contest. Participants may register in<br />

advance for the contest, which will be<br />

held at 2 p.m. There will be prizes.<br />

And the Maypole Dance, an ancient<br />

spring ritual revived for this singular<br />

event, will take place at 1:30 p.m. Betty<br />

Gunderson of Gunderson’s School of<br />

Dance will supervise, bringing 12 of her<br />

students to dance <strong>and</strong> assist. Children<br />

attending the festival are invited to join<br />

Gunderson <strong>and</strong> her troupe in the maypole<br />

dance.<br />

From a small but enthusiastic gathering<br />

in 2002, the festival<br />

now attracts hundreds<br />

of people who enjoy the<br />

lovely setting, the<br />

music, the vendors of<br />

plants, crafts, <strong>and</strong> all<br />

things spring <strong>and</strong> decorative.<br />

Then, of course,<br />

there’s the food. As in<br />

asparagus soup, especially.<br />

S<strong>and</strong>y Plumb<br />

makes it by the gallons;<br />

there’s always a waiting<br />

line at the soup station.<br />

You may have seen it<br />

savored by the hosts of<br />

TV’s “Chronicle,” or<br />

perhaps you’ve been<br />

fortunate enough to<br />

sample it yourself.<br />

But there’s more than<br />

the famous soup. You’ll<br />

find asparagus in many<br />

guises here, <strong>and</strong> plenty<br />

of other tasty treats as<br />

well.<br />

Those<br />

Congregational Church<br />

ladies make pies to die<br />

for, <strong>and</strong> the men serve<br />

up a variety of<br />

lunchtime favorites.<br />

Several other food vendors<br />

add their specialties<br />

as well. You could<br />

dine your way across<br />

the common if you<br />

wished, but you’ll<br />

doubtless find yourself<br />

beguiled by the plants,<br />

crafts, <strong>and</strong> other<br />

appealing displays.<br />

Better bring a basket or<br />

large shopping bag. (Or<br />

purchase a tote bag<br />

emblazoned with the<br />

festival logo — new this<br />

year.)<br />

Last year, the committee<br />

solicited asparagus<br />

recipes from the<br />

community <strong>and</strong> put<br />

together a small cookbook.<br />

It was a sellout. A<br />

limited number of<br />

reprints will be available<br />

this year; you may<br />

want to purchase yours<br />

early in the day.<br />

Additionally, tote bags<br />

bearing the Asparagus<br />

Festival logo will be<br />

offered for sale.<br />

Other attractions<br />

include the music of<br />

Dick Chase, <strong>and</strong> a performance<br />

by violinist<br />

Samantha Gillogly. Stay<br />

tuned. There may be<br />

more.<br />

Vendor space is still<br />

available. Call Amy<br />

New program at Becker honors veterans<br />

INCENTIVES AVAILABLE<br />

TO EX-MEMBERS OF<br />

ARMED FORCES<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

WORCESTER — State <strong>and</strong> local officials<br />

braved the windy, rainy weather Monday,<br />

April 28 to honor veterans with higher education.<br />

Becker College held a press conference at<br />

the Viet Nam Memorial in Green Hill Park on<br />

Skyline Drive to announce the beginning of<br />

its Patriot College Access Program (PCAP).<br />

To help celebrate this program were<br />

Congressman James McGovern, state Sens.<br />

Edward Augustus <strong>and</strong> Harriette Ch<strong>and</strong>ler, Lt.<br />

Gov. Tim Murray <strong>and</strong> Worcester City<br />

Councilman Philip Palmieri.<br />

PCAP is “a financial <strong>and</strong> academic assistance<br />

program established to serve American<br />

military veterans,” according to a press<br />

release issued prior to the event.<br />

According to Becker College President Ken<br />

Zirkle, under the PCAP program, which is<br />

available at both the Worcester <strong>and</strong> Leicester<br />

campuses, veterans will receive a $5,000 grant<br />

in addition to state <strong>and</strong> federal financial aid<br />

for which they may be eligible.<br />

According to McGovern, most veterans<br />

currently receive a little more than $9,000<br />

per year under the current Montgomery<br />

G.I. Bill.<br />

“Helping our returning veterans obtain a<br />

quality education is the least that we can<br />

do,” McGovern said. “When they put that<br />

uniform on the first day, they earn the right<br />

to a quality education,” he continued.<br />

Not only will the PCAP program help veterans<br />

afford basic tuition at Becker, but it<br />

will also provide each full-time veteran student<br />

with a laptop computer <strong>and</strong> a stipend<br />

to cover the cost of books <strong>and</strong> materials.<br />

Veterans enrolled at Becker will also be eligible<br />

for college credit for life experience,<br />

in addition to the credits awarded for specialized<br />

training while in the armed services.<br />

“We believe that PCAP is a needed <strong>and</strong><br />

important step,” Zirkle said, adding that he<br />

hopes it will become a model for other institutions<br />

to follow.<br />

National Guard veterans <strong>and</strong> reservists,<br />

who are only eligible for limited aid under<br />

the Montgomery G.I. Bill, will also be able<br />

to receive the benefits of the PCAP program.<br />

“What Becker is doing today is not only the<br />

right thing but it’s also a challenge,” Murray<br />

said. “A challenge goes out to all those private<br />

institutions that are so important to the economic<br />

<strong>and</strong> educational infrastructure of the<br />

state, to figure out ways to step up as well,<br />

because we need to make sure that every one<br />

of our veterans that comes home has the<br />

opportunity for an affordable education.”<br />

North Brookfield receives grant for property cleanup<br />

BOSTON — State Sen. Stephen<br />

M. Brewer (D-Barre) <strong>and</strong> Rep.<br />

Anne M. Gobi (D-Spencer) have<br />

announced that the<br />

Environmental Protection<br />

Agency has awarded the Town of<br />

North Brookfield a $200,000<br />

brownfields cleanup grant.<br />

These hazardous substances<br />

grant funds will be used to clean<br />

up a 3-acre 55 School St. parcel<br />

site located within the North<br />

Brookfield<br />

Downtown<br />

Development Project area.<br />

North Brookfield plans to redevelop<br />

the site with retail <strong>and</strong><br />

commercial uses, which are<br />

expected to create at least 100<br />

new jobs <strong>and</strong> rejuvenate the<br />

town’s tax base. Downtown redevelopment<br />

is expected to help<br />

preserve open space in the town’s<br />

rural areas.<br />

“<strong>This</strong> project will shape the<br />

town’s future by bolstering the<br />

local economy, preserving its<br />

rural character of the town, <strong>and</strong><br />

protecting the environment,”<br />

said Brewer. “<strong>This</strong> grant is a<br />

reflection of town’s hard work<br />

<strong>and</strong> dedication to preserving<br />

downtown North Brookfield.”<br />

“I congratulate the town on<br />

their tireless efforts to secure<br />

funding that will assist in their<br />

long term goals of environmental<br />

<strong>and</strong> economic improvement,”<br />

added Gobi.<br />

EPA’s Brownfields Program<br />

empowers states, communities<br />

<strong>and</strong> other stakeholders to work<br />

together to prevent, assess, safety<br />

clean up <strong>and</strong> sustainably reuse<br />

brownfields. A brownfield site is<br />

real property, the expansion,<br />

redevelopment, or reuse of<br />

which may be complicated by the<br />

presence of a hazardous substance,<br />

pollutant, or containment.<br />

On Jan. 11, 2002, the president<br />

<strong>and</strong> Congress passed into<br />

law the Small Business Liability<br />

Relief <strong>and</strong> Brownfields<br />

Revitalization Act. Under this<br />

law, EPA provides financial assistance<br />

to eligible applicants<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

LEICESTER — The Leicester<br />

Police Department had been more<br />

than busy lately, dealing with a rash<br />

of crime that seems to have been<br />

brought about by the coming of<br />

warmer weather.<br />

“We’re coming into our busy time<br />

of the year,” said Police Chief<br />

James Hurley.<br />

A late-night call on Wednesday,<br />

April 23 sent police to the corner of<br />

Stafford <strong>and</strong> Auburn streets to<br />

respond to an armed robbery, during<br />

which an unidentified victim,<br />

heading toward Worcester, was<br />

approached at the intersection by<br />

three individuals.<br />

The victim was then forcibly<br />

removed from the car at gunpoint,<br />

stripped of his clothing down to his<br />

underwear, <strong>and</strong> robbed. His clothes<br />

were later found strewn along<br />

Route 56.<br />

“That in <strong>and</strong> of itself is a highly<br />

unusual [method of operation],”<br />

Hurley said of the robbery. “We<br />

don’t get a lot of these types of<br />

armed robberies.”<br />

BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ<br />

NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT<br />

LEICESTER — Average Leicester homeowners<br />

would see a $43 (or 2.5 percent)<br />

increase in their next tax bill if voters at next<br />

week’s Town Meeting approve the $26 million<br />

budget approved by the Board of Selectmen<br />

April 28.<br />

The proposed budget for fiscal 2009 also<br />

includes $100,000 from the “rainy day” stabilization<br />

fund. Selectmen said that although<br />

they are reluctant to take from the fund,<br />

which is for emergencies, they are putting it<br />

in the budget to cover any costs for unexpected<br />

special education students.<br />

“If they don’t use it, we’ll put it right back<br />

into the stabilization fund,” said Chairman<br />

Douglas A. Belanger.<br />

Selectman Thomas V. Brennan voted<br />

against the 2.5 percent increase, saying he<br />

thought the board should go with a noincrease<br />

budget, <strong>and</strong> if unexpected special<br />

education needs arise in the fall, vote for<br />

more funding at a Special Town Meeting in<br />

October or November.<br />

Voters at the Annual Town Meeting —<br />

which will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, May 5 —<br />

will also be asked to approve $211,000 to cover<br />

the current budget’s shortfalls, more than<br />

half of which are due to the costs of clearing<br />

the winter’s unusually high number of<br />

storm, officials said.<br />

Other items on which voters will decide are<br />

proposals to:<br />

• Allow residential wind turbines — “windmills”<br />

— to cut electricity costs. If passed,<br />

residents will be permitted to — within reason<br />

<strong>and</strong> regulations — hook up small “windmills”<br />

to their electricity meters, <strong>and</strong> get<br />

credit for all power generated by the windmill.<br />

“I think people need to take advantage of<br />

this to help their households to survive,”<br />

Brennan said.<br />

• Limit the hours of operation of construction<br />

machinery to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday<br />

through Saturday.<br />

In other business at<br />

the April 28 meeting,<br />

the board:<br />

• Created a panel to<br />

deal with what officials<br />

say are the growing<br />

number of problems<br />

at The Olde Rock<br />

Pub on Main Street.<br />

In addition to violating<br />

health codes by<br />

allowing smoking on<br />

the premises <strong>and</strong> by<br />

selling corned beef<br />

<strong>and</strong> cabbage on<br />

March 17 without a<br />

food service permit,<br />

the pub has been the<br />

In fact, Hurley said that he could<br />

not recall an incident like this within<br />

the last 10 years.<br />

“Obviously our belief is that this<br />

was not a r<strong>and</strong>om act,” Hurley continued.<br />

“<strong>This</strong> individual had to be<br />

targeted.”<br />

Hurley said the investigation so<br />

far has led police to believe that the<br />

three assailants crossed paths with<br />

the victim at some point earlier in<br />

the night. The victim reportedly<br />

was stripped of his wallet containing<br />

cash, which he may have been<br />

seen br<strong>and</strong>ishing in an establishment<br />

prior to the 11 p.m. robbery.<br />

Local <strong>and</strong> State Police set up a<br />

perimeter <strong>and</strong> searched the immediate<br />

area with the assistance of a<br />

State Police canine, but did not turn<br />

up any tangible leads.<br />

The gunman is described as<br />

being a Hispanic male, approximately<br />

20 years old, between 175-200<br />

pounds, medium build with brown<br />

eyes, a wavy ponytail, <strong>and</strong> small<br />

strip of facial hair on his chin. No<br />

descriptions were available for the<br />

other two assailants, except that all<br />

three were shirtless at the time of<br />

In Theater, for continuing to operate one of<br />

only thee drive-in theaters in the state.<br />

“He’s as tickled right now to have that theater<br />

out there as he ever was,” Brennan said.<br />

• Discussed setting “summer hours” at<br />

Town Hall of Monday through Thursday<br />

from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., staying open one of<br />

those evenings until 7 or 8 p.m., <strong>and</strong> closing<br />

Fridays. The purpose would be to conserve<br />

the cost of electricity <strong>and</strong> air conditioning<br />

for the entire building on Fridays, Selectman<br />

Richard Antanavica said.<br />

the robbery.<br />

Anyone with information pertaining<br />

to the robbery or who saw<br />

anyone tossing clothes along Route<br />

56 that evening can call Detective<br />

Timothy Fontaine at (508) 892-7010.<br />

Although investigators do not<br />

feel this was a r<strong>and</strong>om incident,<br />

Hurley reminded the citizens of<br />

Leicester to keep their doors locked<br />

when driving <strong>and</strong> not to stop for<br />

any suspicious people in the road.<br />

UNLOCKED CARS TARGETED<br />

Friday, May 2, 2008<br />

Keeping car doors secured is certainly<br />

the mantra of Leicester<br />

police these days. Only days before<br />

the robbery, on Monday, April 21,<br />

police responded to 17 reports of<br />

vehicles that had been broken into<br />

during the early morning. Waite<br />

Street, Rural Drive <strong>and</strong> Massasoit<br />

Drive were the most heavily burgled<br />

areas.<br />

Of all the cars broken into,<br />

Hurley said, not one was locked.<br />

Leicester had two similar incidents<br />

early last fall, when nearly 20 cars<br />

were broken into over the course of<br />

one evening on two separate occasions.<br />

So far, items reported stolen<br />

include mostly loose change <strong>and</strong><br />

Answer given on MassPike ramp<br />

LEICESTER — The idea of having a<br />

Massachusetts Turnpike exit ramp at the<br />

Oxford/Leicester line deserves a closer<br />

look, according to turnpike officials.<br />

Alan LeBovidge, executive director of<br />

the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority,<br />

sent a letter suggesting Leicester <strong>and</strong><br />

Oxford officials contact the state to study<br />

the impact such a ramp would have.<br />

However, LeBovidge cautioned, that does<br />

not guarantee a ramp is in the works.<br />

“I want to make sure that there is an<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing that a study process does<br />

not imply acceptance,” he wrote. “With<br />

that said, I am directing my staff to work<br />

with the towns of Leicester <strong>and</strong> Oxford<br />

when needed.”<br />

Back in January, Leicester Selectman<br />

Thomas V. Brennan proposed a MassPike<br />

exit be built at the intersection of Route 56<br />

<strong>and</strong> the turnpike in North Oxford.<br />

money, as well as global positioning<br />

systems <strong>and</strong> other items that could<br />

be lifted easily, according to Hurley.<br />

“You can never tell if they’re connected,”<br />

he said of the recent<br />

breaks <strong>and</strong> those last year.<br />

Hurley did acknowledge, however,<br />

that local police are aware of<br />

several groups of people that have<br />

been involved in breaking into cars<br />

recently, <strong>and</strong> are investigating a<br />

number of avenues.<br />

Over the last two weeks, Hurley<br />

said, there has also been a home<br />

broken into <strong>and</strong> several thefts from<br />

outside of local businesses. People<br />

are encouraged to be vigilant in<br />

their neighborhoods <strong>and</strong> call the<br />

police if they see a suspicion person<br />

or vehicle in the area.<br />

Hurley also reminded Leicester<br />

residents planning to go on vacation<br />

in the coming months that they<br />

can sign up with the Police<br />

Department to have their home<br />

monitored while away.<br />

Sheriff offers phone-based notification system<br />

OPTION AVAILABLE TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN CASE OF EMERGENCY<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

If the Spencer Police Department cannot<br />

buy a $12,500 community notification system<br />

as part of this month’s Proposition 2 1/2 override<br />

question, the Worcester County Sheriff ’s<br />

Department has another option.<br />

The good news for Spencer is that it would<br />

not cost a dime for at least two years.<br />

Sheriff Guy W. Glodis is offering its<br />

Worcester Regional Alerting System to communities<br />

throughout Central Massachusetts.<br />

West Brookfield <strong>and</strong> Southbridge signed<br />

agreements last week to join the program.<br />

Through the Worcester Regional Alerting<br />

System, local residents would receive a telephone<br />

call if there is an emergency — ranging<br />

from a missing resident to a train derailment.<br />

Anyone with a l<strong>and</strong>-based telephone,<br />

including Verizon local service, cable phone<br />

service <strong>and</strong> voice over Internet protocol<br />

(VoIP) services such as Vonage, would receive<br />

a call.<br />

Thomas M. Ashe, community relations<br />

director for the sheriff ’s office, told West<br />

Brookfield selectmen last week the system<br />

would not leave a message on answering<br />

machines or voicemail systems, nor would it<br />

call cellular phones. Also, he said, the number<br />

of calls per minute the system makes<br />

would be based on the severity of the emergency.<br />

The Worcester County Sheriff ’s<br />

Department oversees <strong>and</strong> houses the system,<br />

Ashe said. Trained staff is available around<br />

the clock to get emergency messages out, he<br />

noted.<br />

The federal Department of Homel<strong>and</strong><br />

Security gave the sheriff ’s department a<br />

grant to pay for the system until 2010, Ashe<br />

said, which means the so-called “Reverse 911”<br />

system can be offered to local communities at<br />

no cost to them.<br />

According to Ashe, unless the sheriff ’s<br />

office receives another grant the $85,000 yearly<br />

cost would, beginning in 2010, be billed to<br />

participating cities <strong>and</strong> towns. He added that<br />

communities could opt out of the system at<br />

any time with no penalty.<br />

“[The sheriff] is not looking to make a<br />

buck,” Ashe said. “He wants to make sure<br />

people are aware of the program, that they<br />

can utilize it if they need to.”<br />

Local officials, not the sheriff ’s department,<br />

would decide what constitutes an<br />

emergency, Ashe said. They would contact<br />

dispatchers at the West Boylston office <strong>and</strong><br />

record the message to be sent out.<br />

“We might tell you post-emergency that<br />

that probably wasn’t a good utilization of the<br />

program,” he said, “but we’ll do that as it is<br />

[deemed] necessary.”<br />

The public notification system can be used<br />

for an entire city or town, Ashe said, or just<br />

certain streets or neighborhoods.<br />

In Spencer, the purchase of a community<br />

notification system is included in the $528,000<br />

override request on this week’s Annual Town<br />

Meeting warrant <strong>and</strong> the May 13 Annual<br />

Town Election ballot. According to town officials,<br />

the system was one of the recommendations<br />

of the blue ribbon committee established<br />

after last year’s water emergency,<br />

when 34 gallons of lye were accidentally<br />

released into the town’s water supply. At that<br />

time, there was no way of quickly alerting<br />

Spencer residents about the emergency, short<br />

of going door to door <strong>and</strong> dropping off<br />

notices, broadcasting announcements on<br />

local cable access <strong>and</strong> posting notices on the<br />

town’s Web site.<br />

In an April 23 memor<strong>and</strong>um to Town<br />

Administrator Paul Guida, Police Chief<br />

David B. Darrin wrote the Worcester<br />

Regional Alerting System also could not send<br />

text messages or e-mails to local residents.<br />

“Their system will take much longer to<br />

process calls <strong>and</strong> it will not be available for<br />

community service or non-emergency incidents,”<br />

the chief wrote. “Calls may also be<br />

delayed if the system is being used by another<br />

community.<br />

“That being said, the sheriff ’s system is<br />

definitely an alternative for Spencer should<br />

the local funding efforts fail,” Darrin added.<br />

VIEWPOINT<br />

LEADER • Friday, May 2, 2008<br />

OPINION AND COMMENTARY FROM SPENCER, LEICESTER AND THE BROOKFIELDS<br />

EDITORIAL<br />

Arrive alive<br />

after the prom<br />

Alittle over a year ago, the region’s<br />

collective heart broke upon hearing<br />

that four teenagers died in a<br />

horrific automobile accident in<br />

Leicester.<br />

In an instant, four families (<strong>and</strong> four circles<br />

of friends) were changed forever. A fifth<br />

family, meanwhile, has had the unenviable<br />

task of watching one of its members recover<br />

from the physical <strong>and</strong> emotional trauma she<br />

suffered.<br />

Nathan Plaza, Bryan Rossik, Julianne<br />

Caron <strong>and</strong> Courtney Butcher, as well as the<br />

sole survivor, Lauren Bennett, were treasured<br />

members of the community. They also<br />

became statistics added to the number of<br />

teenagers who die every year in automobile<br />

accidents.<br />

According to the federal Centers for<br />

Disease Control, 36 percent of teenagers who<br />

die every year are killed in motor vehicle<br />

crashes.<br />

Several factors contribute to this, a CDC<br />

fact sheet explained. Teenagers are more<br />

likely to speed, follow too closely to other<br />

cars, “underestimate hazardous situations or<br />

dangerous situations or not be able to recognize<br />

hazardous situations,” <strong>and</strong> use seat<br />

belts.<br />

In fact, according to the CDC, 10 percent of<br />

high school students reported they rarely or<br />

never wore seat belts when they were passengers<br />

in a vehicle. Male high school students<br />

are much more likely not to wear seat belts<br />

than their female classmates.<br />

Plaza, Rossik, Caron, Butcher <strong>and</strong> Bennett<br />

were thankfully wearing seat belts, according<br />

to police. However, the car in which they were<br />

riding was traveling at 70 mph, more than<br />

double the 30 mph speed limit for the section<br />

of River Street where the crash occurred.<br />

In response to the number of fatal accidents<br />

involving teens, the state last year<br />

implemented tougher rules for new drivers.<br />

The penalties for teens caught speeding are<br />

severe: a 90- or 180-day suspension of their<br />

license, a $500 fee to get their license back,<br />

<strong>and</strong> a driver attitude training course <strong>and</strong><br />

exam.<br />

Teenagers are also prohibited from having<br />

passengers under age 18 in the vehicle unless<br />

the passenger is a family member, or the driver<br />

is accompanied by another licensed driver<br />

aged 21 or older riding shotgun with at least a<br />

year’s experience.<br />

The number of fatal accidents involving<br />

high school students seems to spike this time<br />

of year, as the weather turns warmer, the<br />

school year nears its end <strong>and</strong> prom season<br />

gets under way.<br />

<strong>This</strong> is the perfect time of year for parents<br />

<strong>and</strong> guardians to talk with young drivers <strong>and</strong><br />

stress the importance of driving safely. One<br />

way of doing this is signing a written “driving<br />

contact” that clearly spells out the penalties<br />

for breaking the rules.<br />

The National Institutes of Health also recommends<br />

that parents encourage teenagers<br />

to call them “without consequence,” rather<br />

than get in a vehicle with a drunken driver.<br />

If teenagers decide to forego the limousine<br />

<strong>and</strong> drive themselves (or their friends) to the<br />

prom, they should make sure they buckle up<br />

<strong>and</strong> don’t drink — after all, unless they are 21<br />

it is illegal — <strong>and</strong> make sure their eyes are<br />

squarely focused on the road (while making<br />

sure they’re not speeding).<br />

Having fun at the prom is the top priority,<br />

but it should not take a back seat to being<br />

safe.<br />

WEEKLY EDITOR<br />

AT-LARGE<br />

DAVID F. DORE<br />

EDITOR, SPENCER NEW LEADER<br />

To the Editor:<br />

To the voters of Spencer, beware!<br />

You are being presented an override question<br />

to permanently <strong>and</strong> forever increase<br />

your property taxes, every year. According to<br />

Vincent Cloutier, at the selectmen’s workshop<br />

meeting of April 23, “The school budget<br />

is the reason we had to revert to an override<br />

question. Our budget was balanced.”<br />

Please consider <strong>and</strong> contemplate these<br />

questions.<br />

What is the source of the override issue?<br />

Why are we in this predicament?<br />

Is the override absolutely necessary?<br />

Is the override question solving an emergency<br />

situation?<br />

Was the decision to slash the library budget<br />

(by the former town administrator <strong>and</strong><br />

current Board of Selectmen) given adequate<br />

thought?<br />

Is closing the library an option?<br />

Is closing the library a ruse?<br />

How do private sector businesses deal with<br />

a slowing economy?<br />

Can you control your income?<br />

Can you control your spending?<br />

If the snow <strong>and</strong> ice budget has a surplus,<br />

why do we need an override for snow <strong>and</strong> ice?<br />

How are gas prices?<br />

How are food prices?<br />

What is happening to the appraised value<br />

of your home?<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />

Gaucher: Questions to ponder about Spencer override vote<br />

To the Editor:<br />

I am appalled by the select board, except<br />

Mr. DeCoff, that it has the nerve to think<br />

about an override when we are in a recession.<br />

Many townspeople lost their jobs <strong>and</strong> earned<br />

a quarter of what the superintendent, teachers<br />

<strong>and</strong> town administrator makes. Everyone<br />

is having a hard time with the increase of gas<br />

prices, food prices <strong>and</strong> electricity, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

increase in natural, gas which a lot of townspeople<br />

use to heat their homes. Many property<br />

owners in town have empty apartments,<br />

but have to pay hefty insurance premiums on<br />

top of the utilities, house taxes, upkeep <strong>and</strong><br />

cost of advertising. Health insurance <strong>and</strong><br />

prescription drug costs are out of sight (do<br />

you know that a lot of people in this town<br />

don’t have any health insurance at all<br />

because they can’t afford it?).<br />

I urge all townspeople to vote no on the<br />

override, because if you don’t, your tax bill is<br />

going to increase by another $112.50 if your<br />

house is assessed at $250,000, on top of what<br />

you already are paying now. Don’t forget, you<br />

have to pay the automatic 2 1/2 percent<br />

increase on your taxes this year on Aug. 1. We<br />

had an override in 2005, <strong>and</strong> that increase in<br />

taxes is forever. It is permanent <strong>and</strong> never<br />

goes away.<br />

The present select board, except Mr.<br />

DeCoff, should not threaten the townspeople<br />

with such ridiculous rhetoric that the library<br />

will have to close <strong>and</strong> we will lose a police<br />

officer. The town has enough money for both.<br />

The problem is the school budget needing<br />

more money for the teachers’ cost of living<br />

increases <strong>and</strong> having to pay 90 percent for<br />

their insurance benefit increases.<br />

As for the schools, the people in this town<br />

are not making the money the superintendent<br />

<strong>and</strong> most of the teachers are, plus all the<br />

Is the Police Department receiving a<br />

$71,250 community policing grant in fiscal<br />

2009, for a third year?<br />

Why is one <strong>and</strong> only one salary from the<br />

police department included in the override?<br />

If Reverse 911 is free to all communities in<br />

Worcester County until 2010, why is it part of<br />

the override?<br />

Do building permits <strong>and</strong> fees truly cover<br />

the entire salaries of the planner, second<br />

building inspector <strong>and</strong> assistant health<br />

agent, aka soil specialist?<br />

Is student achievement directly correlated<br />

to spending? Compare data from other countries!<br />

Is student achievement proportional to the<br />

$25 million dollar school budget? Ask a homeschooler!<br />

At the end of the month, do you have an<br />

abundance of disposable income?<br />

Since 2002, average free cash is $680,578. If<br />

free cash is contingency money that has been<br />

used to cover override requests in the past<br />

that have failed, why not use free cash<br />

instead of asking for an override?<br />

To discuss <strong>and</strong> debate these questions,<br />

please call Jennifer Gaucher at (508) 885-5208,<br />

c<strong>and</strong>idate for selectman.<br />

JENNIFER GAUCHER<br />

SPENCER<br />

Kauppilas: Now is not a good time to pass an override<br />

To the Editor:<br />

Spencer’s officials, from the selectmen to the<br />

School Department, have been on a deliberate<br />

misinformation campaign to trick Spencer’s<br />

voters. In light of being in the midst of the<br />

worst economy in 20 years, I find this incredibly<br />

low. Not to mention, these misinformation<br />

campaigns are exactly what causes the animosity<br />

between schoolteachers, business owners<br />

<strong>and</strong> homeowners, <strong>and</strong> has been the cause<br />

for more than 20 years. Contrary to popular<br />

belief, homeowners <strong>and</strong> business owners have<br />

nothing against schoolteachers.<br />

Lie No. 1: Spencer’s tax rate is too low in<br />

relation to the median family income of<br />

Spencer <strong>and</strong>, of course, according to School<br />

Superintendent Ralph Hicks, you should be<br />

ashamed.<br />

The fact is Spencer’s median family income<br />

is $48,700, which is 20th from the bottom out of<br />

94 communities in Worcester County, yet your<br />

tax rate is 39th from the bottom. According to<br />

Dr. Hicks’ formula, you are actually paying<br />

more than you should be in relation to your<br />

median income.<br />

Lie No. 2: The Spencer-East Brookfield<br />

school teacher salaries are not too high for the<br />

area.<br />

The fact is 66 percent of Spencer’s teachers<br />

make between $60,000 <strong>and</strong> $80,000 per year,<br />

which is 27 percent to 60 percent higher than<br />

the entire household income of the average<br />

family in Spencer. To find teachers that make<br />

as much as Spencer’s teachers, you have to<br />

travel as far east as Southborough (the wealthiest<br />

community in Worcester County), with a<br />

median income of $114,000 per year. Keep in<br />

mind that St. John’s <strong>and</strong> Worcester Academy,<br />

the No. 1 <strong>and</strong> No. 2 schools in the county, only<br />

pay their teachers between $30,000 <strong>and</strong> $50,000<br />

per year.<br />

Scare tactic No. 1: We will close the library<br />

<strong>and</strong> public parks on your children if you don’t<br />

give us the override.<br />

What Spencer selectmen didn’t tell you is<br />

that while crying poverty they hired a second<br />

building inspector in a town where nothing is<br />

going on in the building industry. Funny thing<br />

about this building inspector, we were<br />

informed through anonymous “Scam Alerts”<br />

benefits. We pay for our own health care,<br />

which is $350 to $450 <strong>and</strong> more a month on top<br />

of any prescriptions. The district has a beautiful<br />

new school on Paxton Road, but it isn’t<br />

enough. What a beautiful, huge building that<br />

is, with all of the indoor <strong>and</strong> outdoor modern<br />

facilities. Warm in winter, air conditioned in<br />

summer.<br />

The superintendent doesn’t have to drive<br />

very far daily like a lot of the townspeople,<br />

who have to drive to Worcester, Marlboro,<br />

Westborough, Shrewsbury <strong>and</strong> Connecticut<br />

to get to work, plus he has over two months’<br />

summer vacation. Who else has that?<br />

I underst<strong>and</strong> about the state m<strong>and</strong>ates <strong>and</strong><br />

the stress it puts on all school budgets. <strong>This</strong> is<br />

happening in all the towns in Massachusetts,<br />

not just Spencer. Why, as the superintendent,<br />

can’t he call other superintendents in the<br />

local towns having the same problem <strong>and</strong> get<br />

together with them <strong>and</strong> the state senators<br />

<strong>and</strong> tell them about this plight, instead of<br />

always dem<strong>and</strong>ing more money from the<br />

already overburdened taxpayers? In a recession,<br />

no less! We all have to live within a<br />

budget, so if you have to make cuts, then do<br />

so. That’s what businesses do!<br />

Spencer townspeople, do you budget your<br />

money or do you run to Town Hall <strong>and</strong> ask for<br />

an override to pay your bills if you run short?<br />

The recession is not over. Things are going to<br />

get worse before they get better. You’re going<br />

to have to face higher health care costs, fuel<br />

costs to heat your home, higher gas prices,<br />

electricity increases <strong>and</strong> cost of food increases.<br />

With these cost increases, I would have to<br />

ask you to say no to an override.<br />

JOHN AND MARY ANN KAUPPILA<br />

SPENCER<br />

King: Better management negates the need for an override<br />

of his hiring, which the selectmen initially<br />

denied up <strong>and</strong> down.<br />

Scare tactic No. 2: Threaten the job of a<br />

police office to trick the police union into campaigning<br />

for their Proposition 2 1/2 override.<br />

Is it just me, or does anyone else remember<br />

how the selectmen did the same thing in 2005,<br />

when they threatened the schoolteacher’s jobs<br />

<strong>and</strong> tricked that union into campaigning for<br />

the override?<br />

So where is all the money going? Let me give<br />

you just the tip of the iceberg.<br />

Anyone remember the “poison water” incident?<br />

Well, because of that we now pay a private<br />

firm from Peabody $250,000 per year to<br />

run the Water Department. Keep in mind that<br />

Warren Ramsey used to run the Water<br />

Department for about one-fifth of that.<br />

The selectmen created ODIS (pronounced<br />

“otis”), who is a woman named Karen Cullen.<br />

Her rate of pay with benefits <strong>and</strong> perks is<br />

about $70,000 per year. Her job, incidentally,<br />

was invented out of thin air five years ago,<br />

which accounts for $350,000 to date.<br />

We now have a full-time fire chief, who has<br />

earned in excess of $60,000 per year for five<br />

years. Oh yeah, his job didn’t exist before that,<br />

either. That’s another $300,000 to date. Let’s not<br />

forget his $50,000 SUV.<br />

<strong>This</strong> all comes down to bad behavior, lack of<br />

discipline <strong>and</strong> arrogance. Do not reward bad<br />

behavior like this with more money. They<br />

must be held accountable.<br />

They got an override in 2005, <strong>and</strong> now<br />

they’re back for more in 2008. Trust me; they’ll<br />

be back in 2011 for more.<br />

Send this crew a message. Vote no on the<br />

override.<br />

JEFFREY L. KING<br />

SPENCER<br />

Editor’s Note: In a January interview with<br />

the New Leader, then-Town Administrator<br />

Carter Terenzini said Peabody-based Weston<br />

<strong>and</strong> Sampson is “down to two days a week” running<br />

the Water Department, “costing less than<br />

$2,000 a week at this point,” or about $100,000<br />

per year.<br />

Innocents<br />

abroad, Part II<br />

When we last left Rome on our<br />

Italian Treasures adventure, we<br />

were headed for Pisa on a sunny<br />

Sunday. Good thing we were in a<br />

bus with 44 passengers, a knowledgeable<br />

tour guide (Marisa), <strong>and</strong> a skilled driver<br />

(Flavio). The bus was way too big for any<br />

city street we were ever on. Therefore, we<br />

were constantly being passed by cars the<br />

size of golf carts <strong>and</strong><br />

motorcycles the size of,<br />

well, motorcycles.<br />

The important thing we<br />

soon learned about highway<br />

travel in Italy was the strategic<br />

placement of “autogrilles,”<br />

basically turnpike<br />

rest stops, complete with<br />

snack bar, convenience store,<br />

<strong>and</strong> toilets. The latter facilities<br />

ranged from actual holes<br />

AS YOU<br />

in the ground to seatless<br />

porcelain thrones. Typically<br />

LIKE IT<br />

there’s an attendant sitting<br />

outside the facility collecting<br />

an agreed-upon “tip” —<br />

MARK ASHTON either 20 cents or 50 cents<br />

Euro, depending on the<br />

cleanliness of the facility or<br />

its distance from the next hole in the ground. So<br />

our basic traveling rule became: When the bus<br />

stops, we go!<br />

Pisa is a tiny town with a big attraction. I<br />

don’t mean the ever-present gypsies selling<br />

scarves <strong>and</strong> sunglasses, but the leaning tower<br />

that could have been straightened long ago, but<br />

thereafter would have destroyed its own tourism<br />

industry, which relies on the wow factor of<br />

world travelers who st<strong>and</strong> in the shadow of this<br />

familiar l<strong>and</strong>mark <strong>and</strong> take pictures of one<br />

another pretending to hold up (or push down)<br />

the many tiered tower. If it were removed to the<br />

Holy L<strong>and</strong>, this could be the Tower of Babel, but<br />

otherwise it needs to remain in Pisa, where film<br />

<strong>and</strong> disposable camera sales are brisk <strong>and</strong> all<br />

roads lead to a tiny town square where there are<br />

shops for jewelry <strong>and</strong> Pinocchio puppets <strong>and</strong><br />

Italian gelato.<br />

From Pisa to Lucca, an ancient walled city<br />

like nearly every city we encountered, including<br />

Siena, where they still hold the odd horse race in<br />

season around the cobble-stoned piazza. We<br />

spent a day or two in Firenze (Florence), one of<br />

the world’s most architecturally <strong>and</strong> artistically<br />

impressive places. We saw Michelangelo’s<br />

“David,” a 13-foot tall slab of marble that captures<br />

the essence of humanity perhaps better<br />

than any other piece of sculpture in the world.<br />

(We also saw it in 23,000 miniature versions <strong>and</strong><br />

with its frontal nudity plastered onto kitschy<br />

aprons — supposedly for manly men to wear at<br />

backyard grills from Florence to Florida.)<br />

On to Verona, for a peek at Juliet’s balcony<br />

(wasn’t she a fictional character?), where graffiti<br />

attests to her ongoing popularity <strong>and</strong> where<br />

young men of all ages cup the right breast on<br />

her bronze statue to win their own star-crossed<br />

girlfriend. On to Tuscany <strong>and</strong> Verrazano Castle,<br />

home of the world’s best chianti, <strong>and</strong> other<br />

fruits of the sun-kissed vine. They tell me the<br />

DOCG quality (Dirt <strong>and</strong> Origin Control<br />

Guaranteed?) vino is primo. Judging by the late<br />

afternoon singing in the wine-tasting room, they<br />

may be right.<br />

As impressive as the ancient churches <strong>and</strong><br />

walled cities <strong>and</strong> piazzas <strong>and</strong> wine production<br />

are elsewhere in Italy, they still can’t compare<br />

with everything about Venice, a city built on<br />

some 115 (some say 118) isl<strong>and</strong>s in the middle of<br />

a lagoon. Though the city’s foundation is thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />

(<strong>and</strong> thous<strong>and</strong>s) of wooden poles pounded<br />

into the mud, they have stone palaces <strong>and</strong><br />

churches atop them that rank with the best of<br />

the rest of Italy. Our tour of the Doge’s<br />

(President’s) Palace revealed a successful<br />

Republican government that was the center of<br />

world trade for some 1,100 years — until that<br />

upstart Columbus “discovered” a new route to<br />

riches <strong>and</strong> a whole other world of marine mercantilism<br />

outside of Europe <strong>and</strong> Asia.<br />

On to Assisi, Spello, Orvieto. Our own appreciation<br />

of Italy is now based on sauce-laden dinners,<br />

neck-straining tours of guilty pleasures,<br />

the relics of ancient saints (a severed skull here,<br />

a finger bone there), transportation by water<br />

taxi, gondola, funicular, <strong>and</strong> bus, <strong>and</strong> informative<br />

walking tours detailing the lives <strong>and</strong> times<br />

of some of the greatest artists, architects,<br />

emperors, entrepreneurs, <strong>and</strong> saints of ancient<br />

days. So now I feel completely qualified to write<br />

either of two books: “Where to Pee in Eet-a-lee”<br />

or “Ancient Italy on 110 Euros a Day.”<br />

Unfortunately, there’s not much commercial<br />

value in either one, so I may have to write off<br />

our “Italian Treasures” adventure as simply<br />

that, a modern exploration of the l<strong>and</strong> of<br />

ancient romance, ruins, art, <strong>and</strong> architecture.<br />

It finally strikes me, though, that while a<br />

month ago I was thinking of America (<strong>and</strong> New<br />

Engl<strong>and</strong> in particular) as a l<strong>and</strong> rich in history<br />

<strong>and</strong> tradition, we’re actually still in our infancy<br />

when it comes to telling the story of civilization.<br />

Sure, MODERN Italy wasn’t even unified until<br />

after our own Civil War, but as the multiprovinced<br />

boot in the middle of the<br />

Mediterranean, Italy has been around 10 times<br />

longer than America. While we’ve got some 233<br />

years of national history under our collective<br />

belt, Italy has cobblestone roads older than that,<br />

brick walled villages <strong>and</strong> bridges older than<br />

that, working vineyards older than that, dust on<br />

wine bottles older than that. So it would behoove<br />

anyone interested in seeing America’s “experiment<br />

in democracy” survive to take note, to consider<br />

what helped Rome rule the world for as<br />

long as it did <strong>and</strong> what led to the fall of the<br />

Roman Empire, what gave Venice more than a<br />

millennium of success in world commerce <strong>and</strong><br />

what led to its eventual decline.<br />

There are marvelous lessons to be learned —<br />

<strong>and</strong> a whole lot of beautiful scenery, cuisine <strong>and</strong><br />

world history to be enjoyed — in anyone’s<br />

Italian Treasures vacation.<br />

• SPENCER NEW LEADER 9<br />

Accused v<strong>and</strong>als not coming back to group home<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

LEICESTER — The three residents<br />

of the Henry Lee Willis<br />

Center’s Hope House that were<br />

arrested on charges of v<strong>and</strong>alism<br />

will not be returning to the<br />

Leicester location.<br />

“At this point, they have not been<br />

brought back, nor are they eligible<br />

to come back,” said Jesse Mellor,<br />

director of recovery services <strong>and</strong><br />

overseer of recovery programs for<br />

the Willis Center.<br />

During the incident, which<br />

occurred nearly four weeks ago,<br />

police apprehended one individual<br />

at the town beach in Burncoat Park.<br />

With the assistance of a State<br />

Police canine, two more people<br />

were tracked back to the Hope<br />

House, according to Leicester<br />

Police Chief James Hurley. The<br />

three men were charged with “tagging,”<br />

or spray painting graffiti, on<br />

municipal property.<br />

Hurley went on to explain that<br />

tagging is a felony charge <strong>and</strong> can<br />

carry a sentence of up to five years<br />

in jail.<br />

“It was an absolutely horrendous<br />

decision on those kids’ part,”<br />

Mellor said.<br />

The Hope House opened in mid-<br />

2007 as a voluntary recovery <strong>and</strong><br />

social reintegration residency program<br />

for adult men overcoming<br />

substance abuse problems. As a<br />

precautionary measure, when the<br />

Hope House opened, representatives<br />

began an ongoing dialogue<br />

with local police to help curtail any<br />

criminal or otherwise negative<br />

behavior, like that which the location<br />

had experienced when it was<br />

home to the Fresh Start program.<br />

Fresh Start was an involuntary<br />

program for troubled young women<br />

<strong>and</strong> often necessitated attention<br />

from Leicester police. For that reason,<br />

when the Willis Center, a<br />

Worcester-based organization that<br />

deals with socioeconomic issues<br />

facing people in Worcester County,<br />

decided to give the Route 9 location<br />

another shot, local residents were<br />

skeptical.<br />

“Obviously for [v<strong>and</strong>alism] like<br />

this to happen, there had to be a<br />

breakdown at some point,” Hurley<br />

said.<br />

While maintaining open communications<br />

— speaking on an almost<br />

weekly basis, according to Hurley<br />

— Mellor said the remaining residents<br />

of the Hope House have put<br />

forth a considerable effort to make<br />

amends.<br />

“They’ve adopted that park as<br />

their community service project,”<br />

Mellor explained. “They’ve already<br />

been out there <strong>and</strong> have eradicated<br />

the graffiti.”<br />

As a reactionary measure, Mellor<br />

said that normal operations of the<br />

house were temporarily suspended<br />

for a week, during which group sessions<br />

focused on underst<strong>and</strong>ing the<br />

consequences of impulsive decisions,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the need for the residents<br />

of the house to assist one another<br />

in healthy <strong>and</strong> productive decision<br />

making.<br />

“It’s something that we are certainly<br />

committed to stressing to the<br />

current <strong>and</strong> future members of the<br />

program there,” Mellor said, “that<br />

they are responsible for each other,<br />

<strong>and</strong> that individuals affect the community.”<br />

Police station, street names on Town Meeting warrant<br />

NORTH BROOKFIELD RESIDENTS TO GATHER MAY 9, VOTE ON 24 ARTICLES<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

NORTH BROOKFIELD — On Friday, May<br />

9, the residents of North Brookfield will<br />

convene in the auditorium of North<br />

Brookfield Elementary School to vote on<br />

the 24 articles that will make up the 2008<br />

Annual Town Meeting.<br />

One of the largest points of interest, <strong>and</strong><br />

certainly the focus of many heated debates<br />

in recent weeks, is the location of the new<br />

police facility.<br />

Following an early April vote by the<br />

Board of Selectmen to place the building<br />

on South Common Street that was met with<br />

sharp disapproval from the Police Building<br />

Committee, three articles have been placed<br />

on the meeting warrant that will poll the<br />

town to get a more accurate underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

of where the townspeople want their new<br />

police station.<br />

Although these articles are nonbinding<br />

<strong>and</strong> the decision making authority will<br />

still reside with selectmen, people will be<br />

asked if they would prefer a location on<br />

Grove Street, abutting the North<br />

Brookfield Housing Authority, a location<br />

on the corner of Grove <strong>and</strong> School streets,<br />

or the South Common locale for the facility.<br />

In addition, the town will vote on keeping<br />

the words “North” <strong>and</strong> “South” on different<br />

sections of the town’s Main Street<br />

because the street addresses are already<br />

consecutively numbered along the whole<br />

thoroughfare.<br />

Residents will be asked to grant permission<br />

to the selectmen to accept gifts of<br />

money or real estate given to the town, <strong>and</strong><br />

to enter into any necessary leasing agreements<br />

associated with the acceptance or<br />

transfer of personal property.<br />

The selectmen will also ask the town to<br />

authorize them to apply for, <strong>and</strong> spend, any<br />

grant money available at both the state <strong>and</strong><br />

federal level.<br />

The majority of remaining articles focus<br />

on money. The town will decide on the<br />

salaries of elected <strong>and</strong> appointed officials,<br />

as well as determine what amount of<br />

money will be appropriated to the town’s<br />

treasury to defray charges <strong>and</strong> expenses of<br />

the town for one year, beginning on July 1.<br />

Both the Water <strong>and</strong> Sewer Departments<br />

will be asking for money to continue the<br />

operations of each respective department<br />

through the coming year as well.<br />

Voters will also give or deny the town<br />

treasurer the authority to invest town<br />

funds into short-term agreements deemed<br />

prudent in generating income.<br />

Two revolving accounts will be proposed<br />

on behalf of the Council on Aging. One<br />

account will carry an $8,000 limit, <strong>and</strong> will<br />

be used for the collection of donations <strong>and</strong><br />

fees for services <strong>and</strong> activities for elders.<br />

The second account, with a $7,000 limit,<br />

will be used for the elder transportation<br />

program, Senior Wheels.<br />

The town will also be asked to set up a<br />

$20,000 revolving account for activities at<br />

the North Brookfield Fire Training Center,<br />

as well as appropriate $50,000 to the North<br />

Brookfield Emergency Squad.<br />

The Planning Board will be asking the<br />

town to approve a revolving account in the<br />

amount of $5,000 for engineering services.<br />

Appropriation or borrowing of money for<br />

the necessary repairs to the Horse Pond<br />

Dam will also be discussed at the meeting.<br />

VIEWPOINT<br />

Leary, Gagnon, Chase: Library is a window to past, future<br />

Damien: Send message by voting against Spencer override<br />

To the Editor:<br />

It has been proposed that the town of<br />

Spencer close its public library.<br />

What kind of a community gets rid of<br />

their library? And, what happens to your<br />

opinion of a town the size of Spencer when<br />

you learn it doesn’t have a library? How you<br />

answer these two questions will say a lot<br />

about what you value in your community<br />

<strong>and</strong> how you would like prospective residents<br />

to feel about your town.<br />

The Spencer Public Library, like all<br />

libraries, is a place of learning, a source of<br />

entertainment <strong>and</strong> a source of opportunities,<br />

ideas, answers <strong>and</strong> stimulating thought.<br />

A community that closes its public library is<br />

one that turns its back on all residents, but<br />

especially its families <strong>and</strong> children.<br />

Learning is not an expense, but an investment.<br />

The Spencer library has become the document<br />

archive of our community. It contains<br />

a record of the social history of Spencer <strong>and</strong><br />

all the memories associated with important<br />

events. What was Main Street like in 1950?<br />

Did the Flower Children of the 1960s take<br />

root in Spencer? Who were the “town<br />

fathers,” <strong>and</strong> what did they do to shape the<br />

future of Spencer? The answers to these<br />

questions are vital to the residents of<br />

Spencer, but consider their fate should the<br />

public library close. Will any other public<br />

library have an interest in preserving them<br />

<strong>and</strong> further compiling the living history of<br />

the Spencer community? Not likely. So the<br />

prospect of closing the Spencer Public<br />

Library can be compared to ending the<br />

record of Spencer life. If not for the library,<br />

where would one contemplate the meaning<br />

of the past or ponder its impact on the<br />

future?<br />

Like all traditional sources of information,<br />

the public library is changing as<br />

today’s computerized environment prevails.<br />

Most of us have become used to conducting<br />

Internet searches for facts <strong>and</strong> answers. But<br />

few of us are willing to read a book from a<br />

computer screen. Yes, the role of the library<br />

is changing with the social domination of<br />

the Internet. But this does not portend the<br />

death of the community library, but a new<br />

role for a vibrant center of knowledge where<br />

the joy of learning is contagious.<br />

What roles might the Spencer Public<br />

Library take on in the future? If the example<br />

of other communities who have concluded<br />

their library has a role in today’s world,<br />

there are many possibilities, such as Web<br />

site creation facilities, blogging stations,<br />

podcasting studios, art, music <strong>and</strong> drama<br />

exploratoriums, imagination rooms, applied<br />

science labs, <strong>and</strong>, of course, quiet, contemplative<br />

reading rooms where books with real<br />

printed pages can continue to take the mind,<br />

heart <strong>and</strong> soul to places that are inaccessible<br />

by Internet connection.<br />

The future of the Spencer Public Library<br />

should be the issue on the table, not the onetime<br />

cost savings attendant to its closure.<br />

JUDY LEARY<br />

MARIE GAGNON<br />

DONNA CHASE<br />

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY<br />

To the Editor:<br />

Would you be able, in good conscience, to<br />

take money from a friend or relative that<br />

you know is in dire need, one who is having<br />

trouble making ends meet, feeding their<br />

family <strong>and</strong> keeping the house heated <strong>and</strong><br />

paying for gasoline to commute to work? I<br />

think not.<br />

Can you tell your supervisor at work that<br />

your departmental budget is going to be<br />

thous<strong>and</strong>s of dollars over your allotment<br />

without taking the time or energy to try to<br />

bring your numbers into line with the company’s<br />

guidelines, <strong>and</strong> still continue in your<br />

position? Can you do this without showing<br />

that the increased budget will result in<br />

increased benefit or revenue? I think not.<br />

It is shameful that we live in a community<br />

where the schools have such power that they<br />

simply state what they want, <strong>and</strong> regardless<br />

of the outcome, they get it. Well, are we<br />

happy to fund our bloated school budget <strong>and</strong><br />

lose a library <strong>and</strong> a police officer? I think<br />

not.<br />

Our schools will never have enough<br />

money, <strong>and</strong> we are looking down the barrel<br />

of a gun that is loaded <strong>and</strong> aimed at our<br />

already over-taxed wallets. When we give<br />

the schools more money, we send the message<br />

that they never really have to tighten<br />

the purse strings, only that there is a neverending<br />

supply of cash in the taxpayers’<br />

pockets.<br />

Still, here we are in Spencer, being led by<br />

the “town fathers” like sheep to the slaughter.<br />

We simply watch in awe as they propel<br />

their annual numbers to such heights that<br />

we can’t fathom how on earth they can<br />

spend so much money. The school department<br />

is treating the residents like poor relatives<br />

who will never have an opportunity to<br />

emerge from their squalor because of the<br />

heavy taxes upon their heads. We are in the<br />

throngs of a recession that has the potential<br />

to put people out of work, <strong>and</strong> leave children<br />

hungry <strong>and</strong> cold, <strong>and</strong> we are using scare tactics<br />

once again to put more money, hard<br />

earned money, into the h<strong>and</strong>s of those who<br />

show us time <strong>and</strong> time again that they cannot<br />

spend it wisely.<br />

The time has come for the common man in<br />

Spencer to come forward <strong>and</strong> say “enough is<br />

enough,” <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> accountability on<br />

every line item in every budget. There are<br />

those who wouldn’t like that. Dollar by dollar,<br />

when the people dem<strong>and</strong> results, we will<br />

find the monies to fund the library keep our<br />

police force <strong>and</strong> run our schools. The results<br />

will not always be popular ones, but common<br />

sense will prevail <strong>and</strong> the budget can<br />

<strong>and</strong> must work.<br />

So, in this vein, let’s all st<strong>and</strong> together for<br />

change, the real change that can <strong>and</strong> will<br />

make things work without hurting every<br />

taxpayer permanently. We must vote no on<br />

the school budget article at Town Meeting,<br />

<strong>and</strong> we must vote no on the Proposition 2 1/2<br />

override on the ballot. Send a clear <strong>and</strong> decisive<br />

message that we have had enough, <strong>and</strong><br />

that government must become accountable,<br />

<strong>and</strong> learn, like all of us, to do more with less,<br />

not just now, but as we “move forward.”<br />

SPORTS<br />

Orlik, Warriors cruise to victory over Leicester<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

STURBRIDGE — Tantasqua ace<br />

Curtis Orlik owned the field during a<br />

Wednesday morning outing April 23<br />

against the Wolverines of Leicester<br />

High School.<br />

Pitching a complete game <strong>and</strong><br />

racking up more than a dozen strikeouts,<br />

Orlik lead his team to a 6-1<br />

home victory yesterday.<br />

“He was throwing hard today,”<br />

Tantasqua head coach Mike Farrell<br />

said of Orlik following the game. “He<br />

had a good fast ball, his curveball<br />

kept them off balance. <strong>This</strong> game’s<br />

mostly about pitching.”<br />

For Leicester, despite a few defensive<br />

gems, the Wolverines just could<br />

not seem to l<strong>and</strong> the ball in each<br />

other’s gloves when in the field.<br />

The starting pitcher for Leicester,<br />

Sean Morton, got off to a rocky start,<br />

hitting Tantasqua leadoff batter<br />

Cory Lavallee.<br />

Lavallee would eventually score on<br />

a double from Jared Lowe for the first<br />

run of the game, giving Tantasqua<br />

the lead.<br />

Over two <strong>and</strong> one-third innings,<br />

Morton’s pitches would make contact<br />

with at least two more batters before<br />

he dismissed himself from the field<br />

in the middle of the third inning on<br />

account of shoulder pain.<br />

“The whole game, my arm was<br />

sore,” Morton explained. “I was trying<br />

to find a spot where I could throw<br />

accurate without it hurting, but I<br />

couldn’t find a spot so I just had to<br />

take my self out because I couldn’t<br />

throw anymore.<br />

“Before I even went into the game<br />

it was hurting me,” Morton continued,<br />

saying that the issue with his<br />

shoulder is the result of a preexisting<br />

injury. “I tried to throw anyways; it<br />

just wasn’t working out for me.”<br />

Chris Wall took over on the mound<br />

<strong>and</strong>, with a man on third, was able to<br />

safely end the inning with a strikeout<br />

<strong>and</strong> a ground ball fielded off first<br />

baseman Andrew Buckley’s chest.<br />

In the fourth, Leicester str<strong>and</strong>ed<br />

two <strong>and</strong> brought home one to temporarily<br />

tie up the score before Orlik<br />

closed out the side with three strikeouts.<br />

Tantasqua regained their lead by<br />

one run in the bottom half of the<br />

inning, but also saw the first of two<br />

cannon shots from Leicester catcher<br />

Pat Rossik’s arm that picked off<br />

Tantasqua runners attempting to<br />

take second. Rossik’s second showing<br />

was in the fifth, but was not enough<br />

to stop the flow of the Warriors’ bats.<br />

Captain Jon Kazanovicz led off the<br />

inning with a triple that fell just<br />

inside the 375-foot marker.<br />

Kazanovicz was brought home on a<br />

single by Dan Kemp. Kemp soon followed,<br />

on a sacrifice from Lowe,<br />

bringing Tantasqua’s lead to 4-1.<br />

The Warriors would bring home<br />

another pair of runs in the sixth as<br />

well.<br />

Orlik completely shut down<br />

Leicester’s offense in the last two<br />

innings, with six K’s on five clean<br />

strikeouts <strong>and</strong> one put-out play<br />

where the attempt to steal first was<br />

minimal.<br />

Spencer boards defend need for town planner<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

SPENCER — Members of three<br />

municipal boards told selectmen<br />

Monday, April 28 it would be a mistake<br />

not to hire a new town planner.<br />

With Karen Cullen now working<br />

a part-time schedule after joining<br />

Concord Square Planning <strong>and</strong><br />

Development Inc., some Spencer<br />

residents (including c<strong>and</strong>idates for<br />

the Board of Selectmen) have proposed<br />

eliminating her position as a<br />

way to save money.<br />

But, residents who sit on the<br />

Planning Board, Zoning Board of<br />

Appeals <strong>and</strong> Conservation<br />

Commission (all part of the Office<br />

of Development <strong>and</strong> Inspectional<br />

Services, overseen by the town<br />

planner), explained that idea would<br />

end up hurting the town down the<br />

road.<br />

The only effect not hiring a town<br />

planner would have in the short<br />

term, Planning Board Chairman<br />

Shirley Shiver said, is to lower fees,<br />

since the position is “self-funded<br />

<strong>and</strong> is revenue generating.”<br />

Cullen’s salary was $64,000 per<br />

year plus benefits.<br />

“Eliminating this position cannot<br />

fund another employee position<br />

outside of the Office of<br />

Development <strong>and</strong> Inspectional<br />

Services,” Shiver wrote in an April<br />

22 letter to selectmen read aloud<br />

Monday night.<br />

Shiver then proceeded to list 10<br />

responsibilities of the town planner:<br />

reviewing plans for developments<br />

<strong>and</strong> subdivisions, helping<br />

boards with zoning advice <strong>and</strong> writing<br />

“legally defensible decisions to<br />

reduce or eliminate litigation<br />

expenses,” reviewing roadway<br />

design <strong>and</strong> drainage issues, coordinating<br />

all of the parties involved in<br />

development plans, providing information<br />

on grants, updating <strong>and</strong><br />

implementing the town’s Master<br />

Plan, keeping up on changes to<br />

state laws <strong>and</strong> regulations “<strong>and</strong><br />

keeping Spencer in control of<br />

development, not developers <strong>and</strong><br />

their attorneys,” <strong>and</strong> representing<br />

the town at local <strong>and</strong> regional planning<br />

sessions <strong>and</strong> the regional<br />

SPORTIN’ SATURDAY<br />

Transportation Committee.<br />

“A town planner is the best<br />

defense we have against uncontrolled<br />

development,” Shiver said.<br />

“We can’t stop it, but we can prepare,<br />

control <strong>and</strong> protect this town<br />

through good planning <strong>and</strong> zoning<br />

bylaws.”<br />

She added later, “There will be<br />

developers at our door. If we don’t<br />

have a town planner, we are going<br />

to be very, very sorry.”<br />

The town of Spencer has become<br />

“more appealing” for state funding<br />

now that it has a town planner,<br />

Shiver said. In fact, Planning Board<br />

member Cindy Pendleton noted,<br />

her work has brought the town<br />

more than $3 million in grants <strong>and</strong><br />

other state funding.<br />

Shiver also claimed members of<br />

the Planning Board, Zoning Board<br />

of Appeals <strong>and</strong> Conservation<br />

Commission could resign if the<br />

Office of Development <strong>and</strong><br />

Inspectional Services returns to the<br />

“disorganization <strong>and</strong> legal risk”<br />

that preceded its 2004 creation.<br />

“We presently have stable, educated<br />

boards that have valuable<br />

l<strong>and</strong> use knowledge <strong>and</strong> expertise,”<br />

Shiver wrote. “Members do not<br />

have the time to perform the duties<br />

of a town planner.”<br />

Conservation Commission<br />

Chairman Ernest Grimes <strong>and</strong><br />

Zoning Board of Appeals Clerk<br />

Joanne Backus agreed with Shiver<br />

on the importance of having a town<br />

planner.<br />

Grimes said both the planner <strong>and</strong><br />

the conservation agent “help this<br />

board greatly” by, for example,<br />

allowing the commission to see<br />

plans for projects sooner in the<br />

process.<br />

“Our decisions ... are much more<br />

defendable since we’ve had a town<br />

planner,” Backus said, adding that<br />

with Cullen’s help the board has<br />

“created a much cleaner, we hope,<br />

<strong>and</strong> more defensible decision in<br />

court. Also, with her assistance,<br />

we’ve been able to do more<br />

informed decisions, which has kept<br />

us out of court a time or two.”<br />

That assistance can be useful,<br />

Backus said, when the Zoning<br />

affordable housing projects —<br />

“housing that can be rammed down<br />

our throat if we don’t have someone<br />

who is on the frontlines <strong>and</strong> able to<br />

help.”<br />

According to Guida, the town is<br />

in process of hiring a new town<br />

planner. Interviews with the<br />

remaining c<strong>and</strong>idates (the town’s<br />

top choice dropped out, he said,<br />

because of the requirement that the<br />

planner live within 15 miles of<br />

Spencer) will be held over the next<br />

couple of weeks.<br />

The search has gained added<br />

urgency, Guida explained, because<br />

Building Inspector Robert Morra<br />

has announced his resignation last<br />

week.<br />

“The main thing is to get a qualified<br />

person who can make the proper<br />

commitment to the town of<br />

Spencer,” Guida said, “not just have<br />

a warm body filling the position.”<br />

bylaw will establish requirements <strong>and</strong> procedures<br />

that will better manage stormwater<br />

from l<strong>and</strong> development <strong>and</strong> prevent future pollution.<br />

The stormwater permits required<br />

under this proposed bylaw will not affect current<br />

homeowners or approved l<strong>and</strong> development<br />

projects.<br />

Careful planning of new development will<br />

preserve the quality of the town’s rich water<br />

resources including our many streams, lakes,<br />

water supplies <strong>and</strong> aquatic habitats. It is<br />

cheaper to prevent damages than to restore<br />

polluted waters. In addition, better stormwater<br />

management can reduce taxpayer costs for<br />

maintaining <strong>and</strong> repairing drainage systems<br />

in the future.<br />

Stormwater problems have been identified<br />

by state <strong>and</strong> federal agencies as the greatest<br />

cause of flooding <strong>and</strong> pollution that can damage<br />

private property, contaminate water supplies,<br />

harm aquatic life, <strong>and</strong> impair recreational<br />

uses of local lakes <strong>and</strong> brooks. <strong>This</strong> proposed<br />

bylaw is supported by the Board of<br />

Selectman, the Conservation Commission, the<br />

Planning Board, the Board of Health <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Highway Department.<br />

Copies of the proposed bylaw are available<br />

12 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, May 2, 2008<br />

Brookfield BOS, school board hopefuls talk issues<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

BROOKFIELD — With not many differences<br />

between the two c<strong>and</strong>idates for selectman,<br />

the question for voters in next week’s<br />

Annual Town Election will be whether they<br />

feel it is time for someone new to join the<br />

board.<br />

Meanwhile, the race for a seat on the<br />

Brookfield School Committee features a selfdescribed<br />

“micromanager” who works well<br />

with others <strong>and</strong> a woman who called herself<br />

“one heck of a team player” who is not afraid<br />

to try something new.<br />

The hopefuls for the two contested races on<br />

the May 5 ballot — Chairman James Allen<br />

<strong>and</strong> challenger Heather Lemieux for selectman,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Chairman Stephen Comtois II <strong>and</strong><br />

challenger Sheila Frangiamore for the school<br />

board — answered questions from residents<br />

<strong>and</strong> members of the media at a Meet the<br />

C<strong>and</strong>idates Night Friday, April 25.<br />

Polls in Brookfield will be open from 7 a.m.<br />

to 8 p.m. in the Banquet Room at Town Hall.<br />

In addition to his run for the School<br />

Committee, Comtois is also again seeking the<br />

Republican nomination for the Fifth<br />

Worcester District seat currently held by<br />

state Rep. Anne M. Gobi (D-Spencer).<br />

When asked if he would have enough time<br />

to serve on both Beacon Hill <strong>and</strong> the School<br />

Mary Walter<br />

Position sought: Selectman, North Brookfield<br />

Address: 75 Downey Road<br />

Occupation: Consultant<br />

Education: Northeastern University, B.S., music-composition,<br />

cum laude<br />

Current public service: Planning Board (2000-present),<br />

previously chairman, currently vice chairman;<br />

Master Plan Implementation Committee<br />

Prior public service: Co-chairman, Master Plan Committee; chairman,<br />

Capital Improvement Planning Committee<br />

Why would you best serve the town?<br />

Proven experience <strong>and</strong> success in planning, project management <strong>and</strong><br />

human resources. Commitment to Master Plan goals, objectives <strong>and</strong><br />

timelines. Vision equals plan equals results.<br />

My accomplishments in North Brookfield have not been the product of<br />

my personal, individual efforts. They are the product of leadership <strong>and</strong><br />

teamwork. Leadership inspires, motivates <strong>and</strong> emboldens us to proactively<br />

respond to crises, conflict <strong>and</strong> challenge. I have consistently<br />

demonstrated this in my community involvement. It is time for new<br />

leadership in North Brookfield.<br />

If elected, what would your priorities be?<br />

• Focus on the Master Plan <strong>and</strong> its implementation with commitment<br />

from all departments <strong>and</strong> town government.<br />

• Address the immediate issues regarding the police station, Town Hall<br />

<strong>and</strong> economic development.<br />

• Determine <strong>and</strong> implement Smart Growth techniques that are suitable<br />

for North Brookfield.<br />

• Demonstrate commitment to the capital improvement planning<br />

process.<br />

• Involve <strong>and</strong> better inform the community <strong>and</strong> town government<br />

employees in the budget process. Redesign the local process.<br />

• Work with the community <strong>and</strong> town departments to resolve the<br />

regionalization debate.<br />

• Create an economic environment that serves the community <strong>and</strong> promotes<br />

the success of local industry <strong>and</strong> business with an emphasis on<br />

North Brookfield as a rural, scenic <strong>and</strong> historic tourist destination.<br />

Politically speaking, how would you describe yourself ?<br />

Good government works. Political speak doesn’t.<br />

OTHER CANDIDATES<br />

Jason Petraitis, a c<strong>and</strong>idate for selectmen, did not return a c<strong>and</strong>idate<br />

questionnaire before deadline.<br />

In an interview with the New Leader in March, Petraitis said he<br />

been a resident of North Brookfield since 1972, <strong>and</strong> currently<br />

works for Verizon Communications Inc.<br />

It is his past professional experience, he said, that would be beneficial<br />

to him as a selectman. “I was a business owner for 10 years,”<br />

Petraitis said. “And I’ve always had a concern for the town.”<br />

When asked what his goals would be as a selectman, Petraitis said,<br />

“Well, we need the Town House taken care of,” a task he is willing<br />

to take on despite the rejection of a $4 million renovation proposal<br />

last fall. Petraitis said he would also take an active interest in the<br />

development of the new police station <strong>and</strong> repairs to town roads.<br />

C<strong>and</strong>idates running unopposed are Christine Kiraly-Thomas, oneyear<br />

term, School Committee; Jeffery Hicks, three-year term, School<br />

Committee; write-in c<strong>and</strong>idate, three-year term, School Committee;<br />

Betty Wuelfing <strong>and</strong> Scott Norrie, Library Board of Trustees; John<br />

Thomasian, three-year term, Water Commission; Stephen Cummings,<br />

five-year term, Planning Board; Claudette Marshall, five-year term,<br />

Housing Authority; <strong>and</strong> Donald Gillette, Southern Worcester County<br />

Regional Vocational School District Committee.<br />

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, May 5 at the<br />

North Brookfield Senior Center, 29 Forest St.<br />

ELECTION 2008<br />

Committee, Comtois said, “If I were blessed<br />

enough to become state rep, I don’t believe so,<br />

but that’s a year down the road.”<br />

Comtois later said he would resign his<br />

chairmanship, but still serve on the School<br />

Committee (his hope, he said, would be as<br />

secretary), unless the state Ethics<br />

Commission ruled he could not serve on both<br />

boards.<br />

“I’ve loved what I’ve done over the past<br />

three years as a School Committee member,”<br />

said Comtois, who owns a carpentry <strong>and</strong> construction<br />

business.<br />

SCHOOL GOALS<br />

Frangiamore, who also serves as assistant<br />

town clerk, said her goals, if elected, would<br />

be to encourage more people to attend School<br />

Committee meetings <strong>and</strong> join Brookfield<br />

Elementary’s Parent-Teacher Organization<br />

(PTO).<br />

“Beyond that I have no aspiration, except<br />

to make a strong community with the school<br />

involved,” she said.<br />

She also said she supports art <strong>and</strong> music<br />

programs, <strong>and</strong> would like to see foreign language<br />

classes return to Brookfield<br />

Elementary School.<br />

Comtois explained he tried to encourage<br />

involvement by changing the time of School<br />

Committee meetings from 7:30 p.m. to 6:30<br />

CANDIDATE PROFILES<br />

N. Brookfield BOS - (one term, three years) West Brookfield Selectmen - (one term, three years)<br />

David M. Eisenthal<br />

Position sought: Selectman, West<br />

Brookfield<br />

Age: 46<br />

Address: 62 W. Main St., West Brookfield<br />

Occupation: Public finance advisor (19<br />

years)<br />

Education: Bachelor of Arts (History),<br />

Clark University, 1983; Master in Public Policy, Harvard<br />

University, John F. Kennedy School of Government, 1985<br />

Current public service: Vice chair, Bay Path<br />

Education Foundation, Charlton (2006 to present)<br />

Prior public service: Sharon (Mass.) School Committee<br />

(1984-87), Framingham (Mass.) Permanent Building<br />

Committee (1991-95)<br />

Why would you best serve the town?<br />

As a public finance advisor, I help cities <strong>and</strong> towns borrow<br />

money to build schools, sewers, water systems, <strong>and</strong><br />

other public capital. <strong>This</strong> work has given me close familiarity<br />

with the laws, practices, <strong>and</strong> procedures that<br />

municipalities must follow in order to be well managed.<br />

My knowledge includes the issues that affect West<br />

Brookfield — <strong>and</strong> how my neighbors feel about them.<br />

If elected, I promise to continue to be available <strong>and</strong><br />

responsive my West Brookfield friends <strong>and</strong> neighbors —<br />

you will have my ear.<br />

West Brookfield’s new selectman will need more than<br />

good ideas, though. The new selectman will need to have<br />

strength of principle <strong>and</strong> an ability to build good working<br />

relationships. As a selectman, I would hold fast to<br />

the principles of fairness, honesty, <strong>and</strong> respect. And I<br />

would be eager to build on the good relationships that<br />

I’ve already begun to develop.<br />

What are the areas in which you could most contribute?<br />

My working style would be a positive addition to the<br />

board. That style is active, but friendly <strong>and</strong> inclusive. I<br />

have done well over 19 years as a public finance advisor<br />

by building relationships with clients, vendors, <strong>and</strong><br />

other key people. I would do the same as a member of<br />

the West Brookfield Board of Selectmen.<br />

Having good relationships does not always mean being<br />

in agreement, but it does mean responding <strong>and</strong> engaging<br />

with other board members, town employees, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

public in a respectful <strong>and</strong> open manner.<br />

QUIET<br />

p.m., <strong>and</strong> moving meetings to the school<br />

library. Both moves, he claimed, did not<br />

work.<br />

As for the PTO, he said it is “very strong<br />

<strong>and</strong> very active.”<br />

Comtois said his primary concerns over<br />

the next few years is the state <strong>and</strong> federal<br />

m<strong>and</strong>ate that 100 percent of pupils be at least<br />

proficient on the Massachusetts<br />

Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS)<br />

test, as well as the impact special education<br />

costs will have on the school budget.<br />

Frangiamore said her long-term goals are<br />

encouraging pupils to do well on MCAS <strong>and</strong><br />

“achieve academic excellence,” as well as<br />

“pay[ing] our teachers what they are deserving.”<br />

SELECTMEN’S RACE<br />

The other contest on Monday’s ballot features<br />

Allen, who is seeking his second consecutive<br />

term on the Board of Selectmen, <strong>and</strong><br />

one of his former students.<br />

Lemieux is the part-time administrative<br />

assistant to the Board of Selectmen <strong>and</strong> town<br />

administrator in Barre, <strong>and</strong> is clerk of that<br />

town’s Finance Committee. She served on the<br />

Warren Conservation Commission <strong>and</strong> cochaired<br />

the town’s Open Space Committee,<br />

which later became the Master Plan<br />

Committee. Lemieux was also the human<br />

BANKRUPTCY<br />

If elected, what would your priorities be <strong>and</strong> how<br />

would you accomplish them?<br />

I see two top priorities for the West Brookfield’s town<br />

government over the next three years: improving confidence<br />

in town services <strong>and</strong> maintaining town finances.<br />

In West Brookfield, concerns about the workings of<br />

some town departments are widespread <strong>and</strong> ongoing.<br />

We can address some of these concerns by implementing<br />

goal setting <strong>and</strong> performance reviews for the department<br />

heads reporting to the selectmen.<br />

The town should proceed carefully with the<br />

implementation of performance reviews. If I<br />

am elected, I will propose creating a committee<br />

to develop performance review policies <strong>and</strong> procedures<br />

for the consideration of the Board of Selectmen<br />

<strong>and</strong> — ultimately — Town Meeting. These policies <strong>and</strong><br />

procedures need to be fair, legal, <strong>and</strong> not cumbersome —<br />

<strong>and</strong> they need to protect the best interests of the town.<br />

With regard to the town’s finances, West Brookfield<br />

already has some of necessary tools for these difficult<br />

times; these include substantial financial reserves <strong>and</strong> a<br />

group of dedicated <strong>and</strong> competent financial officials <strong>and</strong><br />

staff. I propose three steps to enhance these resources.<br />

The first is the adoption of written policies on reserves,<br />

capital, <strong>and</strong> debt. The second is the creation — or re-creation<br />

— of a capital planning committee. The third is<br />

the implementation of multi-year financial forecasting.<br />

I would seek to move the process forward so that policies<br />

can be implemented in time for the fiscal 2010 budget<br />

process, which will begin over the coming summer, <strong>and</strong><br />

which will be decided at the spring Town Meeting next<br />

year.<br />

On capital planning, I propose that the Capital Planning<br />

Committee be created under a bylaw. <strong>This</strong> will require<br />

deliberation <strong>and</strong> “give-<strong>and</strong>-take” among the selectmen<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Advisory Committee before any proposed bylaw<br />

is presented to Town Meeting. If I am elected, I would<br />

look to begin discussions over the summer.<br />

Politically, how would you describe yourself ?<br />

I do not like labels. If there’s any label that applies, it<br />

would be “moderate.” I further believe in responsive,<br />

efficient, <strong>and</strong> well-managed government — at all levels.<br />

Government is an important part of the quality of life,<br />

particularly at the local level. Public education, public<br />

safety, <strong>and</strong> highways directly affect people’s lives; I want<br />

to use my talents to help see that these services are provided<br />

responsively, efficiently, <strong>and</strong> well.<br />

Diane Vayda<br />

resources administrative assistant for the<br />

Secretary of the Commonwealth.<br />

“I’m not ready to debate anything, really,”<br />

Allen told the audience Friday night. “I don’t<br />

have any disagreement with anybody. I’m<br />

here, <strong>and</strong> I don’t want to create any unnecessary<br />

controversy. I’m trying to do the best job<br />

I can. If you’re satisfied, you vote for me. If<br />

you’re not, you don’t. I’m perfectly happy to<br />

function in some other role.”<br />

About his opponent, Allen said, “She would<br />

be an excellent [select]person. As a<br />

Brookfield resident, I’m flattered that such a<br />

person would decide to run for this position.”<br />

Lemieux said her goals, if elected, would<br />

be to keep taxes low <strong>and</strong> encourage cooperation<br />

among town departments.<br />

“By working with the other members of<br />

the select board, the Advisory Committee,<br />

department heads, town treasurer <strong>and</strong><br />

accountant, we can make it work,” she said.<br />

“We are all in this together, <strong>and</strong> we all have a<br />

vested interest to move the town forward.”<br />

When the c<strong>and</strong>idates were asked about<br />

their management style, Lemieux said she<br />

would listen to all sides of an argument <strong>and</strong><br />

do research before making a decision.<br />

“I don’t think of myself as a leader,” Allen<br />

said. “As far as style, I’m more comfortable<br />

when I can build a consensus.”<br />

Position sought: Selectman, West Brookfield<br />

Address: 17 New Braintree Road<br />

Occupation: Outreach administration, University of<br />

Massachusetts Amherst<br />

Education: B.A., Indiana University of Pennsylvania<br />

Current public service: None<br />

Prior public service: Quaboag Regional School<br />

Committee (10 years), West Brookfield Cultural Council<br />

Why would you best serve the town?<br />

My professional perseverance, commitment to “community,”<br />

collaborative work effort <strong>and</strong> experience on School<br />

Committee. I have no hidden agenda. I take things very<br />

seriously, listen closely to what people say <strong>and</strong> their concerns,<br />

<strong>and</strong> am energetic.<br />

If elected, what would your priorities be <strong>and</strong> how<br />

would you accomplish them?<br />

Finances will be the biggest issue coming up, <strong>and</strong> I will<br />

stay on top of those issues<br />

NEASC puts Prouty High School on probation<br />

PROUTY<br />

continued from page A1<br />

its accreditation. He went on to explain that<br />

DPHS will have to climb the ladder through<br />

the warning status level before regaining the<br />

status of being fully accredited.<br />

“Personally I don’t think things are that<br />

horrible at the high school,” Hicks said,<br />

though he did acknowledge, “Do we need to<br />

improve in a few areas? Yes.”<br />

So far, Hicks said, the DPHS staff has<br />

already begun working on a few measures<br />

that will address some of the curricular concerns<br />

of NEASC. Cohesive curriculum <strong>and</strong><br />

common planning are now being worked into<br />

teachers’ schedules to help maintain uniformity<br />

in instruction from grade to grade <strong>and</strong><br />

even classroom to classroom.<br />

“Working on that doesn’t require a huge<br />

expenditure of funds,” Hicks said.<br />

Some of the major concerns outlined in the<br />

60-page NEASC report, however, will not be so<br />

inexpensive to fix. Some of the issues mentioned<br />

are the lack of a librarian, lack of an<br />

adequate number of special education teachers,<br />

outdated science <strong>and</strong> technology equipment,<br />

<strong>and</strong> capital issues such as storage<br />

space, electrical limitations, <strong>and</strong> heating <strong>and</strong><br />

cooling needs for the building.<br />

“We’re going to try to make as many<br />

changes as we can without changing the budget<br />

we’ve requested,” Hicks said.<br />

Hicks went on to say that if<br />

the district can attract one or<br />

two special education students<br />

back to DPHS, the<br />

tuition generated may be<br />

enough to bring back a teaching<br />

position or two, to add to<br />

the two special education<br />

instructors the school<br />

already has.<br />

“It’s not enough to do the<br />

job,” Hicks said. “I think we<br />

need three or four more special<br />

education teaching positions.”<br />

Several non-teaching staff<br />

members will be retiring<br />

from the school district at<br />

the end of this year, possibly<br />

freeing enough money to eke out another<br />

teaching position, Hicks said, though that<br />

plan is still purely speculative.<br />

Hicks reminded people that the financial<br />

shackle weighing the district down is chained<br />

not only to DPHS, but also to every school in<br />

two towns. The district is currently trying to<br />

fund kindergarten <strong>and</strong> fourth-grade teachers<br />

for next year to alleviate overcrowding problems<br />

at the elementary level, while still working<br />

within the confines of its proposed budget.<br />

Another concern presented in the NEASC<br />

report is a lack of technological support.<br />

“I take exception to that,” Hicks said as he<br />

explained that just last year, the<br />

position of lead technology teacher<br />

was created <strong>and</strong> brought to DPHS.<br />

Despite the recent addition of<br />

that one position, DPHS Assistant<br />

Principal Daniel O’Leary said that<br />

the school employed 45 staff members<br />

in 2000, while today it only<br />

maintains 38.<br />

“There are one or two items we’re<br />

going to contest,” Hicks said, “But<br />

by <strong>and</strong> large, most of what you see<br />

[in the report] is correct. Some of it<br />

may be blown a little more out of<br />

proportion than it should be.”<br />

A report on the progress of the<br />

school in rectifying the outlined<br />

issues is due from DPHS to NEASC<br />

at the beginning of 2009. At that<br />

time, DPHS’ status may be moved up one level<br />

to warning status, or it may be held on the<br />

probationary level, depending on how much<br />

can be accomplished in the course of less<br />

than one year.<br />

“When you’re 312 out of 351,” Hicks said, of<br />

Spencer’s state ranking as a community with<br />

one of the lowest tax rates in the<br />

Commonwealth, “don’t expect that you’re<br />

going to get everything you need in the community.”<br />

Christopher Tanguay may be reached at<br />

(508) 909-4144, or by e-mail at ctanguay@stonebridgepress.com.<br />

Spencer Parks <strong>and</strong> Recreation moving forward<br />

PARKS<br />

continued from page A1<br />

fiscal 2009 request.<br />

Once they found out about Terenzini’s budget<br />

plan, members of the Parks <strong>and</strong> Recreation<br />

Commission started thinking of ways to raise<br />

enough money to fund its programs, such as<br />

swimming lessons, the beach at Luther Hill Park<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Summer Adventure program.<br />

In January, the commission agreed to hold<br />

three flea markets at O’Gara Park — on May 24,<br />

June 28 <strong>and</strong> July 26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tables are<br />

available to vendors for $10 each, commission<br />

Chairman William R. Shemeth III told selectmen<br />

Monday night, <strong>and</strong> admission will be $2 per person.<br />

To reserve a table, call (508) 885-7500, ext. 185,<br />

or e-mail parks@spencerma.gov.<br />

Not only will the Parks <strong>and</strong> Recreation<br />

Department hold a penny drive during the flea<br />

markets, but the local men’s softball league will<br />

also be raising money.<br />

Instead of paying the $100 per team fee it paid in<br />

the past, the league (which plays its games at<br />

O’Gara Park) agreed to clean <strong>and</strong> maintain the<br />

park, including mowing the grass. According to<br />

Town Administrator Paul Guida, that will save<br />

more than $3,000 in wages to temporary help hired<br />

in the past to do the work.<br />

The Parks <strong>and</strong> Recreation Department will also<br />

sponsor three shows by the Kelly-Miller Bros.<br />

Circus on Sunday, June 22 at O’Gara Park.<br />

Advance tickets will cost $9 for adults <strong>and</strong> $5 for<br />

children, while tickets sold the day of the circus<br />

will cost $12 for adults <strong>and</strong> $6 for children.<br />

“<strong>This</strong> will give the public the chance to come to<br />

a family program,” Shemeth said, “<strong>and</strong> have part<br />

of the proceeds go to support Parks <strong>and</strong><br />

Recreation.”<br />

Other ways of raising money including increasing<br />

the target for selling advertisements at O’Gara<br />

Park from $1,000 to $2,000, foregoing the department’s<br />

$2,000 donation to the Lake Whittemore<br />

Lake Association for deweeding, <strong>and</strong> seeking<br />

sponsors for the annual Halloween party.<br />

PROGRAMS AND LIGHTS<br />

Ralph Hicks<br />

Along with the fund-raisers, the commission is<br />

raising fees for its summer programs. The cost of<br />

season-long parking passes for Luther Hill Park<br />

will double from $15 to $30 each, while the daily<br />

parking fee for out-of-town residents will remain<br />

at $20.<br />

The charge for the town’s summer swimming<br />

program (which teaches children how to swim)<br />

will go up from $50 per three-week session to $60,<br />

while the cost for the Summer Adventure<br />

Program will go from $40 per two-week session to<br />

$80. The fees include a free parking pass.<br />

The reason for the fee increases, Shemeth said,<br />

is to have the programs pay for themselves.<br />

Summer Adventure sessions will be June 23 to<br />

July 3, July 9-19, July 23 to Aug. 2 <strong>and</strong> Aug. 6-16.<br />

Swimming lessons will be offered July 7-24 <strong>and</strong><br />

July 28 to Aug. 14.<br />

Unlike last year, when the town brought on<br />

more staff for Summer Adventure than were<br />

needed, this year staff will not be hired until<br />

signups are complete.<br />

Local residents can sign their children up for<br />

either Summer Adventure or swimming classes<br />

in person from 6-8 p.m. May 12, May 19 <strong>and</strong> June 2<br />

at Town Hall.<br />

Parking passes for Luther Hill Park will be<br />

available at the signups, or at the Parks <strong>and</strong><br />

Recreation Department office at Memorial Town<br />

Hall.<br />

Shemeth said he was hesitant about hiking the<br />

fees for summer programs any higher, which left<br />

no choice but to let Duggan go once fiscal 2009<br />

begins on July 1.<br />

“Unfortunately, it does not look fiscally feasible<br />

or responsible to attempt to fund the department<br />

director’s position based on fees or donations at<br />

the present time,” Shemeth wrote in an April 23 e-<br />

mail to Guida.<br />

He added he hoped to keep the position in the<br />

budget in case there is enough money to bring<br />

him back.<br />

“While this is a major sacrifice, I [believe] we<br />

must put the providing of programs to our young<br />

people as our top priority,” Shemeth wrote.<br />

“I’ve accepted it,” Duggan told the Parks <strong>and</strong><br />

Recreation Committee Thursday, April 24. “I’ll be<br />

with my children during the summer.”<br />

As the department marches toward self-sufficiency,<br />

it also has to deal with an act of v<strong>and</strong>alism<br />

two weeks ago that destroyed the lights at O’Gara<br />

Park. That means the softball league cannot play<br />

night games until the lights are replaced.<br />

According to Selectman <strong>and</strong> Park<br />

Commissioner Anthony Bove Jr., replacing the<br />

lights will cost $2,500, including $600 for the lights<br />

<strong>and</strong> $2,500 to hire an electrician. In addition to<br />

using unexpended money in its budget, the commission<br />

will sell the old bleachers at O’Gara Park<br />

for scrap for $600, <strong>and</strong> the men’s softball league<br />

has agreed to donate $1,200.<br />

FEES<br />

continued from page A1<br />

meeting. The committee voted<br />

to accept the current bus fee<br />

policy for the coming school<br />

year with the same prices as<br />

2007-08. Each pass will cost<br />

$150, with a $300 family cap.<br />

Superintendent Michael<br />

Dubrule explained that students<br />

receiving free or<br />

reduced lunch, or have a transportation<br />

requirement built<br />

into their Individual<br />

Education Plan, will be<br />

exempt from the fee.<br />

Informational packets will<br />

be sent home with students in<br />

the near future, <strong>and</strong> the deadline<br />

for completed bus pass<br />

applications is Aug. 1. The<br />

committee voted 3-2, with both<br />

Dillon <strong>and</strong> Looft against, to<br />

impose a $15 late fee on applicants<br />

who miss the Aug. 1<br />

deadline.<br />

The committee also voted to<br />

approve a district budget of<br />

just over $16 million to present<br />

at the Town Meeting next<br />

week. The $16 million is a 2.48<br />

percent increase over the current<br />

school year’s operating<br />

budget. The originally proposed<br />

budget carried a more<br />

than 5 percent increase, but at<br />

the request of Town<br />

Administrator Robert Reed,<br />

all town departments had to do<br />

their best to keep increases to<br />

the two percent range.<br />

Even with the additional<br />

cuts, <strong>and</strong> the acknowledgment<br />

that some of the district’s<br />

finances will have to be shuffled<br />

around at different points<br />

during the school year to make<br />

sure all bases are covered,<br />

Armington remained particularly<br />

confident that maintaining<br />

this level service budget is<br />

feasible.<br />

“I think, overall, we’re in<br />

good shape,” Armington said.<br />

SEARCH UPDATE<br />

A report from the<br />

Superintendent Search<br />

Committee that has been sifting<br />

through c<strong>and</strong>idates to fill<br />

the position being left by<br />

Dubrule, who is retiring at the<br />

end of this school year,<br />

showed a slight disagreement<br />

among the board.<br />

While Rieder, Armington<br />

<strong>and</strong> Gonyea were confident<br />

<strong>and</strong> prepared to cast their<br />

final vote for one of the two<br />

remaining c<strong>and</strong>idates, Dillon<br />

<strong>and</strong> Looft were unsatisfied<br />

that the committee had<br />

learned all it needed to about<br />

each c<strong>and</strong>idate before making<br />

a final decision.<br />

Dillon explained that as the<br />

site visits <strong>and</strong> reference<br />

checks were conducted for<br />

each c<strong>and</strong>idate, questions over<br />

RELAY GETS MONETARY BOOST<br />

interactions with students <strong>and</strong><br />

parents presented themselves<br />

that she feels have gone unanswered.<br />

Looft echoed Dillon’s statements,<br />

saying that of the<br />

remaining c<strong>and</strong>idates, each<br />

has a managerial style very<br />

different from the other, <strong>and</strong><br />

she, as a committee member,<br />

wants to make sure that the<br />

right c<strong>and</strong>idate is chosen for<br />

Leicester.<br />

The committee decided that<br />

any answers members felt<br />

they needed to make a final<br />

decision had to be found over<br />

the course of this week. The<br />

committee will meet Saturday,<br />

May 3 for the final vote on the<br />

new superintendent, to be<br />

announced next week.<br />

WEBSTER — Webster First Federal Credit Union employees donated $500 to the American<br />

Cancer Society Relay for Life. Much more than a walk around a track, Relay is a time to celebrate<br />

those who have battled cancer, remember those lost <strong>and</strong> get inspired to fight back. Those who<br />

have shared the same experience find common ground, hope <strong>and</strong> healing at Relay. By participating,<br />

you have the power to continue the American Cancer Society’s progress toward a future<br />

where cancer doesn’t take the lives of our friends <strong>and</strong> family. The employees of the Webster First<br />

Federal Credit Union are proud to support this deserving cause.<br />

OUR TOWNS<br />

Leicester Lions begin<br />

phone collection drive<br />

LEICESTER — More than 150,000 troops are<br />

serving overseas <strong>and</strong> are away from their families.<br />

Cell Phones for Soldiers <strong>and</strong> the Leicester<br />

Lions Club are calling on all Americans to support<br />

these brave men <strong>and</strong> women by donating<br />

unused cell phones. Cell Phones for Soldiers<br />

hopes to collect more than 50,000 cell phones to<br />

help keep troops connected with their families.<br />

Local residents can support the collection<br />

drive by donating their phones at the following<br />

locations:<br />

• Cherry Valley American Legion Post, 167<br />

Main St., Cherry Valley.<br />

• Watch for Hayden Masonic Lodge-sponsored<br />

car shows at Klem’s in Spencer from 5-<br />

8:30 p.m. every Wednesday starting May 28 during<br />

the summer months.<br />

• Chester P. Tuttle American Legion Post,<br />

Bancroft Street, Auburn.<br />

• Vernon Hill American Legion Post,<br />

Providence Street, Worcester.<br />

• By mail to Team Freedom/Masonic<br />

Military Support, P.O. Box 491, Leicester, MA<br />

01524.<br />

“We’re proud to show our support for U.S. soldiers,<br />

<strong>and</strong> to contribute to a worthy cause like<br />

Cell Phones for Soldiers,” says Leicester Lion<br />

Bill Moore.<br />

Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by<br />

teenagers Robbie <strong>and</strong> Brittany Bergquist from<br />

Norwell with $21 of their own money. Since<br />

then, the registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization<br />

has raised almost $1 million in donations<br />

<strong>and</strong> distributed more than 500,000 prepaid calling<br />

cards to soldiers serving overseas.<br />

Through increased fund-raising efforts, the<br />

Bergquist family hopes to raise more than $9<br />

million in the next five years to fund new programs,<br />

such as providing video phones <strong>and</strong> prepaid<br />

service to allow soldiers abroad to see their<br />

families on a regular basis.<br />

The phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays<br />

Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone<br />

— enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers<br />

abroad.<br />

Music school honors<br />

Spencer resident<br />

AUBURN — In recognition <strong>and</strong> honor of<br />

Mary Anne Kalonas Slack’s 24 years of service,<br />

Pakachoag Community Music School<br />

announced at its 20th Annual Cabaret<br />

Fundraiser in March the establishment of the<br />

Mary Anne Kalonas Slack Endowed<br />

Scholarship.<br />

The first endowed scholarship to be initiated<br />

by the school, each year, starting in 2009, an<br />

Early Childhood/Music Together family applying<br />

for financial aid will receive tuition support<br />

in Slack’s name.<br />

Slack, currently a resident of Spencer <strong>and</strong><br />

originally from Northbridge, joined PCMS in<br />

1983. During the subsequent two decades, she<br />

led the school’s early childhood program into<br />

becoming recognized as one of the very best<br />

music programs for young children around<br />

Worcester. Some of her former students are<br />

now bringing their own children to Music<br />

Together classes at PCMS. One of her former<br />

students, Elisabeth LaBarre Gondek, is also<br />

now teaching at PCMS.<br />

In 1987, Slack organized <strong>and</strong> presented the<br />

school’s first fund-raising cabaret. For 24 long<br />

years (minus two years off), she mapped out <strong>and</strong><br />

organized show themes <strong>and</strong> plots, coordinated<br />

rehearsals for the four weekends prior to<br />

shows, <strong>and</strong> sung her heart out for cabarets — all<br />

in support of the school’s current <strong>and</strong> future<br />

students.<br />

Beginning in 1997, Slack led the development<br />

of the school’s early childhood program by<br />

recruiting <strong>and</strong> training four additional Music<br />

Together faculty who have themselves become<br />

dynamic, committed members of the PCMS faculty.<br />

Slack retired from active duty as a PCMS<br />

teacher in May 2007, but returned to organize<br />

<strong>and</strong> sing in the school’s 20th Cabaret Reunion<br />

concert this past weekend. She currently teaches<br />

music in the Spencer-East Brookfield<br />

Regional School District.<br />

<strong>This</strong> year’s cabaret reunited 14 soloists <strong>and</strong><br />

pianists who had sung or accompanied in previous<br />

cabarets, including well-known<br />

Worcester professionals Jane Shivick, Richard<br />

Monroe <strong>and</strong> Stanley Wilson. With more than<br />

400 guests in attendance during the weekend,<br />

including two sold-out<br />

performances, the<br />

school anticipates a<br />

record fund-raiser.<br />

Proceeds help sustain<br />

the school, making it<br />

possible for PCMS to<br />

provide financial aid<br />

for low-income families,<br />

keep tuition costs<br />

down, <strong>and</strong> provide special<br />

outreach programs<br />

for at-risk youth<br />

<strong>and</strong> frail elders.<br />

Anyone wishing to<br />

make a donation to the<br />

Slack Endowed<br />

Scholarship Fund at<br />

Pakachoag may send a<br />

check marked Slack<br />

Fund to Pakachoag<br />

Community Music<br />

School, 203 Pakachoag<br />

Converse with artists at Sturbridge Coffee House<br />

While local florists<br />

gear up for the<br />

biggest flower giving<br />

day of the year, Anna<br />

Ozolins of Brimfield is also<br />

gathering up her roses,<br />

pansies, lilies, irises <strong>and</strong><br />

daisies for the Mother’s<br />

Day rush.<br />

But for Ozolins, “say it<br />

with flowers” takes on a<br />

whole new meaning. The<br />

watercolor artist is giving a<br />

boost to the artistic community<br />

by promoting original<br />

floral artworks as everlasting<br />

Mother’s Day flowers.<br />

The public will have the<br />

opportunity experience<br />

Ozolins’ enthusiasm for<br />

this project first h<strong>and</strong>, as<br />

she <strong>and</strong> fellow Brimfield artist<br />

Loretta Medeiros participate in a<br />

“Conversation with the Artists”<br />

event set for 5 p.m. Friday, May 9 at<br />

Sturbridge Coffee House, 479 Main<br />

St.<br />

Ozolins said her late mother<br />

inspired her to paint favored<br />

Mother’s Day flowers as “permanent<br />

pictures.”<br />

“My mother loved flowers <strong>and</strong><br />

always tried so hard to grow them.<br />

I wish I had the opportunity to go<br />

back to her now <strong>and</strong> give her these<br />

paintings,” she said.<br />

During the pre-Mother’s Day<br />

event, framed <strong>and</strong> matted giclée<br />

prints of Ozolins’ florals, as well as<br />

AROUND<br />

TANTASQUA<br />

TOWNS<br />

KAREN<br />

TRAINOR<br />

original paintings from<br />

herself <strong>and</strong> Medeiros, will<br />

be for sale. But even if<br />

you’re not in the market for<br />

flowers, the artist encourages<br />

mothers <strong>and</strong> their<br />

children to join her for coffee<br />

<strong>and</strong> a chat for the sheer<br />

enjoyment of it.<br />

“<strong>This</strong> will be a great<br />

opportunity for mothers<br />

<strong>and</strong> daughters to come<br />

together, relax, listen to<br />

music <strong>and</strong> spend some<br />

quality time together,” she<br />

said.<br />

FREE HELMETS FOR<br />

BROOKFIELD BICYCLISTS<br />

The warm weather translates<br />

into more bicyclists on the<br />

road, <strong>and</strong> the town of Brookfield is<br />

doing its part to ensure area youths<br />

are protected while pedaling. The<br />

Police Department, in conjunction<br />

with Merrick Public Library will<br />

sponsor a Bike Safety Program on<br />

Tuesday, May 6 at the library, located<br />

at 2 Common St.<br />

The event, which includes distribution<br />

of free helmets to students<br />

16 years of age <strong>and</strong> under, will also<br />

feature a bike safety demonstration<br />

on Common Street. Sgt. Chris<br />

Welsh, who is coordinating the program,<br />

will review safety procedures<br />

<strong>and</strong> show participants the<br />

proper way to cross a street on a<br />

bike.<br />

“<strong>This</strong> (event) is an important<br />

way to get bike safety information<br />

out there,” said Police Chief Ross<br />

B. Ackerman, adding, “Helmet<br />

safety ranks right up there with<br />

seat belts <strong>and</strong> car seats.”<br />

Approximately 30 helmets will be<br />

available for distribution at the<br />

library, according to the police<br />

chief. He notes Brookfield residents<br />

16 <strong>and</strong> under are eligible for<br />

the free helmets on a first come,<br />

first serve basis.<br />

“I’d like to see individuals from<br />

Brookfield come to the library for<br />

the helmets because it’s very<br />

important for us to see kids wearing<br />

the appropriate equipment to<br />

avoid any injuries,” Ackerman<br />

said.<br />

The program is funded from the<br />

Jeppson Memorial Fund for<br />

Brookfield — Greater Worcester<br />

Community Foundation.<br />

The Police Department has periodically<br />

offered bike safety programs<br />

at Brookfield Elementary<br />

School for the past several years.<br />

State law required children under<br />

age 16 who operate a bicycle or ride<br />

as a passenger on a bike on a public<br />

way or bicycle path wear a helmet.<br />

ENCORE CALL FOR TALENT<br />

Center Stage Community<br />

Theatre Director Jeanne Lytle of<br />

Brookfield is putting out an encore<br />

call for singers, dancers <strong>and</strong> more<br />

for her upcoming Talent Show<br />

fund-raiser, to be held at Brookfield<br />

Elementary School next month.<br />

Proceeds from the event will be<br />

used to repair windows in the<br />

Brookfield Town Hall.<br />

Even those who can’t carry a<br />

tune <strong>and</strong> have two left feet are<br />

encouraged to audition for the<br />

show where community spirit is<br />

the only requirement.<br />

“I am looking for people of all<br />

ages <strong>and</strong> talent to participate,”<br />

Mrs. Lytle said, noting participants<br />

are sought from all neighboring<br />

communities.<br />

Mrs. Lytle is a longtime director<br />

of local productions <strong>and</strong> an avid<br />

promoter of local arts.<br />

The Annual Talent Show, which<br />

is slated for 7 p.m. Saturday, May 17,<br />

is sponsored by the Brookfield<br />

Cultural Council. Local residents<br />

interested in performing in the<br />

show, or who want to volunteer to<br />

work behind the scenes, should call<br />

Mrs. Lytle at (508) 867-6705, or e-<br />

mail her at<br />

jlytle1951@hotmail.com.<br />

Kudos: To the Tantasqua towns’<br />

women who were recently named<br />

“Community Unsung Heroines of<br />

2008” by the Massachusetts<br />

Commission on the Status of<br />

Women.<br />

The honorees are Bonita Keefe-<br />

Layden of Sturbridge, Barbara<br />

Wilson of Brookfield, Jean<br />

Sullivan of Brimfield <strong>and</strong> Dawn<br />

Charette of Wales.<br />

“They are the women who quietly,<br />

without fanfare or recognition<br />

<strong>and</strong> usually behind the scenes, use<br />

their time, talent, spirit <strong>and</strong> enthusiasm<br />

to enrich the lives of others,”<br />

said MCSW Executive Director<br />

Linda Brantley.<br />

The women, along with those of<br />

other towns in Massachusetts, will<br />

be recognized for their outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

contributions to the community at<br />

a Statehouse ceremony set for<br />

Wednesday, May 14. The event will<br />

include a speaking program with a<br />

keynote address delivered by<br />

Attorney General Martha Coakley,<br />

certificate presentations <strong>and</strong> a collective<br />

photo of all heroines. The<br />

women will also be treated to a<br />

reception that features an array of<br />

pastries from some of<br />

Massachusetts’ highest ranked<br />

female pastry chefs.<br />

We welcome items of interest to<br />

Tantasqua town residents of<br />

Sturbridge, Brookfield, Brimfield,<br />

Chernisky ponders run for state rep. seat<br />

REPUBLICAN CLAIMS TIME FOR PEOPLE<br />

TO ‘HAVE A SAY’ ON BEACON HILL<br />

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL<br />

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER<br />

<strong>This</strong> election season may bring voters a sense<br />

of déjà vu, with Southbridge Town Councilor<br />

Ronald J. Chernisky once more ready to challenge<br />

incumbent Geraldo Alicea.<br />

Republican c<strong>and</strong>idate David Singer lost to<br />

Alicea in the 2006 state general election after<br />

beating Chernisky in the primary election.<br />

Chernisky was vague about his official<br />

announcement for the coming election.<br />

“I am sure there will be a formal announcement<br />

somewhere down the line,” Chernisky<br />

said during a telephone interview last week.<br />

The town councilor revealed his decision to<br />

run for the Sixth Worcester District state representative’s<br />

seat Friday, April 25, saying he has<br />

already submitted some of the required signatures<br />

to appear on the voting ballot.<br />

“The people have to have a say every time,” he<br />

said. Chernisky’s decision came as somewhat of<br />

a surprise to the legislator who is wrapping up<br />

his first term.<br />

If he does defeat Alicea, Chernisky said he<br />

would loudly raise several issues, including<br />

Parcel I<br />

The l<strong>and</strong> in Spencer, Worcester County,<br />

Massachusetts being lots No. 8 <strong>and</strong> 9 as<br />

shown on a plan entitled “Plan of L<strong>and</strong> of the<br />

Heirs of Jeremiah Earley, or Arly, surveyed by<br />

Geo. A. Craig” recorded in Book 1184, Page<br />

653 in the Worcester District Registry of<br />

Excepting therefrom the easterly part of<br />

said Lot 8 as conveyed by Deed to the Town<br />

September 4, 1944 <strong>and</strong> recorded in Book<br />

Parcel II<br />

The l<strong>and</strong> in Spencer, Worcester County,<br />

Massachusetts, with the buildings thereon,<br />

situated on the West side of Temple Street<br />

<strong>and</strong> bounded <strong>and</strong> described as follows:<br />

Beginning at the northeast corner on the<br />

premises herein conveyed, it being the<br />

southeast corner of l<strong>and</strong> formerly of Francis<br />

Collett <strong>and</strong> now of Lacorix;<br />

Thence S. 01 degrees W. on said Temple<br />

Street, five (5) rods to l<strong>and</strong> formerly of Traflee<br />

Laro;<br />

immigration, wasteful state spending <strong>and</strong> growing<br />

the state’s economy.<br />

The impact the worsening economy is having<br />

on many communities, Chernisky said, is<br />

increasing as legislators continue to throw<br />

money away.<br />

“The state is spending rainy day funds on<br />

projects in Boston,” Chernisky said.<br />

Alicea disagreed <strong>and</strong> noted a lot of money is<br />

being spent on initiatives such as Meals on<br />

Wheels <strong>and</strong> other programs for elderly citizens.<br />

“A lot of it is being spent [in the district],”<br />

Alicea said, who also acknowledged that state’s<br />

tough financial situation.<br />

The financial crunch might improve,<br />

Chernisky said, if his ideas to further develop<br />

the state’s economy were implemented.<br />

“There is no greater benefit to the public than<br />

to create additional jobs so that everybody can<br />

be working <strong>and</strong> so that the job that we have can<br />

be paying more,” Chernisky said. “We have to<br />

make Massachusetts attractive to companies<br />

seeking to relocate.”<br />

But, Alicea said he has fought for the very<br />

changes the state has implemented to bring<br />

Thence westerly by said l<strong>and</strong> formerly of<br />

Laro, six (6) rods <strong>and</strong> seven (7) links to l<strong>and</strong><br />

“These are the things the<br />

companies are looking at,” he<br />

said. “We are not just putting all<br />

of our eggs in one basket.”<br />

So far, voters have only the<br />

two known c<strong>and</strong>idates for the<br />

November election, but at least one other has<br />

considered throwing his hat into the ring. Peter<br />

Cooper Jr., a Republican of Charlton, did take<br />

out nomination papers to challenge Alicea, but<br />

said he has decided not run because it would<br />

take up too much of his time. The 25-year-old<br />

computer programmer said Chernisky has<br />

more experience than he does.<br />

“I had briefly considered it,” Cooper said during<br />

a telephone interview Sunday, April 27. “I<br />

would rather [Ron] do it than me.”<br />

It would have been his first run for an elected<br />

office, he said.<br />

Yet another Republican may challenge Alicea,<br />

according to Charlton Republican Town<br />

Committee member Steven Paul. He declined to<br />

Dozens charged in regional police sting<br />

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL AND<br />

CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITERS<br />

CHARLTON — If you were arrested on<br />

gun, drug or prostitution charges since<br />

mid-January, you were likely part of a<br />

Charlton-based covert police operation<br />

carried out by local police agencies.<br />

As it turns out, 22 people were arrested<br />

<strong>and</strong> 13 others were charged as part of<br />

an undercover police operation conducted<br />

by the Worcester County Drug <strong>and</strong><br />

Counter Crime Task Force from Monday,<br />

Jan. 21 through Thursday, April 10,<br />

according to Worcester County District<br />

Attorney Joseph Early Jr.’s office. Police<br />

executed five search warrants <strong>and</strong><br />

hauled off drugs, along with a shotgun.<br />

“The operation was very, very successful<br />

in our opinion,” said Leicester Police<br />

Chief James Hurley.<br />

The roots of the covert operation grew<br />

out of the mind of a Charlton officer<br />

later last year, according to Hurley. That<br />

officer, whom Hurley did not name, proposed<br />

using one apartment in Charlton<br />

to run a “traditional reverse sting operation.”<br />

After the officer laid the groundwork<br />

for the investigation, police staffed<br />

the apartment with officers where drug,<br />

firearm <strong>and</strong> prostitution transactions<br />

took place.<br />

“Rather than having the police chase<br />

the bad guys, have the bad guys come to<br />

the police,” Hurley said of the idea.<br />

No arrests, according to Hurley, were<br />

ever made at the apartment, because<br />

police let the criminals travel back to<br />

the surrounding communities “in order<br />

to keep the undercover operation under<br />

cover.”<br />

Hurley noted the operation was not the<br />

first they had participated in.<br />

“It was a giant step for the task force<br />

in the sense that while we had engage in<br />

these operations before, we had never<br />

done one freest<strong>and</strong>ing on our own,” he<br />

said.<br />

Leicester’s top law enforcer stressed<br />

his department played a supervisory<br />

role in the operation while the funding<br />

came from two sources.<br />

“I did not have h<strong>and</strong>s on every day,” he<br />

said. “In fact I had very little h<strong>and</strong>s on.”<br />

Charlton Police Chief James A.<br />

Pervier <strong>and</strong> a slew of law enforcement<br />

officials from surrounding communities<br />

unveiled the news to selectmen during<br />

an April 22 meeting.<br />

Much of the time was spent awarding<br />

kudos to police from Charlton, Holden,<br />

Leicester, Millbury, Shrewsbury,<br />

Spencer, Westboro, West Boylston <strong>and</strong><br />

Worcester, who all took part in the investigation.<br />

K-9, ballistics <strong>and</strong> fugitive<br />

units from the State Police also assisted,<br />

with the Worcester Country District<br />

Attorney’s Office providing evidentiary<br />

assistance to the group. The list continued<br />

with the Worcester County Sheriff ’s<br />

Office <strong>and</strong> the New Engl<strong>and</strong> State Police<br />

Information Network that provided surveillance<br />

vans for the operations. That<br />

network, Hurley noted, is one of six<br />

Regional Information Sharing projects<br />

(RISS) funded by the federal Department<br />

of Justice.<br />

Federal Postal Inspectors <strong>and</strong> their<br />

brethren, the Bureau of Alcohol,<br />

Tobacco <strong>and</strong> Firearms, threw their<br />

resources into the investigatory mix.<br />

It is that kind of cooperative spirit,<br />

said Pervier, that made the crime crackdown<br />

possible.<br />

“All of us working together is what is<br />

making the difference,” Pervier said.<br />

“We are able to do a lot more <strong>and</strong> spend<br />

more time on an investigation.”<br />

Pervier specifically cited two officers,<br />

Detective William Beaudry <strong>and</strong><br />

Detective Sgt. Gary Mason, for their<br />

hard work.<br />

“Both those men have really been<br />

instrumental in the success of this operation,”<br />

Pervier said.<br />

Several detectives, Pervier noted, didn’t<br />

attend the briefing because they were<br />

still working undercover.<br />

After Pervier spelled out the details of<br />

the investigation, officials noted the<br />

recent police activity would not have<br />

been possible without the Edward Byrne<br />

Memorial State <strong>and</strong> Local Law<br />

Enforcement grant the task force<br />

received. The grant, according to Hurley,<br />

allowed the task force to chase criminals<br />

across jurisdictional lines in a region<br />

where many local police forces lack the<br />

resources to do so.<br />

“It is really sharing resources [<strong>and</strong>]<br />

information,” he said.<br />

The funding was provided by the federal<br />

Department Of Justice, <strong>and</strong> administered<br />

by the state Executive Office of<br />

Public Safety, Hurley said.<br />

According to the Justice Department’s<br />

Web site, the grant is named after the<br />

late Edward Byrne, a New York City<br />

police officer who was gunned down in<br />

February 1988 while he was guarding a<br />

witness. Four people were convicted of<br />

the crime <strong>and</strong> sentenced to prison.<br />

The regional teamwork is likely to continue,<br />

Hurley hinted.<br />

“The intelligence that we gathered out<br />

of that is still continuing,” he said.<br />

WEST BROOKFIELD — When Liza <strong>and</strong> Sue<br />

Brookfield community for so long, providing<br />

PRAYER TO THE<br />

BLESSED VIRGIN<br />

(Never known to fail). Oh<br />

most beautiful flower of Mt.<br />

Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor<br />

of Heaven, Blessed<br />

Mother of the Son of God,<br />

Immaculate Virgin, assist me<br />

in this my necessity. Oh Star<br />

of the Sea, help me <strong>and</strong><br />

show me herein, you are my<br />

mother, Oh Holy Mary, Mother<br />

of God, Queen of Heaven<br />

<strong>and</strong> Earth, I humbly beseech<br />

you from the bottom of my<br />

heart, succor me in this necessity.<br />

There are none that<br />

can withst<strong>and</strong> your call. Oh,<br />

show me herein, you are my<br />

mother. Oh, Mary conceived<br />

without sin, pray for us who<br />

have recourse to thee. (3<br />

times) Holy Mary I place this<br />

cause in your h<strong>and</strong>s (3<br />

times). Sweet Mother I pray<br />

for this cause in your h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

(3 times). Holy Spirit, resolve<br />

all problems, light all roads<br />

so that I can attain my goal.<br />

You gave me the divine gift<br />

to forgive <strong>and</strong> forget all evil<br />

against me in all instances of<br />

my life, you are with me. I<br />

want this short prayer to<br />

thank you for all things as<br />

you confirm once again that I<br />

never want to be separated<br />

from you even in spite of material<br />

things. I wish to be<br />

with you in eternal glory.<br />

Thank you for your mercy toward<br />

me <strong>and</strong> mine. The person<br />

three consecutive days. After<br />

three days the request<br />

will be granted. <strong>This</strong> prayer<br />

Chevrolet Impala a Bl<strong>and</strong> Sedan That Leaves<br />

Little To Recommend Its Purchase<br />

BY KEITH GRIFFIN<br />

Whenever I go to Florida for my<br />

annual vacation to visit mom so she<br />

can see her gr<strong>and</strong>daughter, I rent a<br />

car. It’s usually something full size.<br />

Last year it was a Pontiac Gr<strong>and</strong> Prix,<br />

which I liked. I never could underst<strong>and</strong><br />

all the criticism surrounding it<br />

because I found it to be a solid sedan,<br />

even in the rental car trim level.<br />

I now underst<strong>and</strong> why everybody<br />

maligns the Chevrolet Impala. It may<br />

be named after a graceful antelope,<br />

but this is one dog that can’t hunt.<br />

There is nothing that st<strong>and</strong>s out about<br />

this sedan so that I could recommend<br />

it against competition like the Ford<br />

Taurus, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord<br />

or Toyota Camry.<br />

GM is making the right decision to<br />

pull back on its sales to rental car<br />

fleets. There’s no way to entice buyers<br />

to purchase a car they’ve rented if they<br />

had such a bad experience with it. By<br />

the way, this isn’t a diatribe against<br />

rental cars. I worked in the industry<br />

during college <strong>and</strong> I owned a used<br />

rental car. <strong>This</strong> is a diatribe against the<br />

Chevy Impala.<br />

The Impala I drove had the 3.5-liter<br />

V-6 engine that is best described as<br />

adequate. Central Florida is basically<br />

flat so there are no hills to challenge<br />

it. However, I found it lacking when<br />

pressed for quick acceleration. The<br />

best thing that could be said about the<br />

engine is it so uninspired me that I<br />

never felt the urge to speed.<br />

The engine delivers 211 horsepower<br />

<strong>and</strong> 214-lb. ft. of torque. Chevy touts<br />

its fuel economy <strong>and</strong> it’s good at 18<br />

mpg city <strong>and</strong> 29 mpg highway. In that<br />

respect, it’s the right vehicle for somebody<br />

on a business trip. They’re not<br />

going to waste a lot of time filling up<br />

at the pump.<br />

It doesn’t drive like a big car, but it can<br />

comfortably seat five adults. One<br />

advantage is its weight at 3,555 lbs. is<br />

The 2008 Chevrolet Impala can best be described as adequate. There is little to recommend this vehicle with so many better mid-size sedans out there at comparable prices.<br />

pretty svelte for its size. That could<br />

contribute to its good highway<br />

mileage. Plus, it’s jelly bean design<br />

does cut through the wind.<br />

There are some pluses to the Impala<br />

for 2008. XM radio comes st<strong>and</strong>ard.<br />

All but the base trim level (which is, of<br />

course, the one I rented) comes with<br />

electronic stability control. I’ve beat<br />

this drum before, but it can’t be said<br />

enough. Electronic stability control is<br />

the best safety feature available when<br />

it comes to accident avoidance.<br />

The Impala’s LT trim level has other<br />

safety features available. The Impala<br />

includes features designed to enhance<br />

the vehicle structure, including<br />

lighter, more rigid front <strong>and</strong> rear<br />

bumper systems. Also, the Impala features<br />

a strengthened “safety cage” passenger<br />

compartment with the front<br />

<strong>and</strong> rear doors designed for improved<br />

energy dissipation in the event of a<br />

crash.<br />

The Impala’s interior is really uninspired.<br />

The model I drove came with<br />

cloth seats. Granted, they were welcome<br />

in the Florida heat but they<br />

looked washed out on this particular<br />

Impala that had about 18,000 miles on<br />

it. Plus, in four days behind the wheel<br />

I never found a comfortable driving<br />

position.<br />

However, the more expensive trim<br />

levels do have one feature lacking in<br />

the rental car that should be included:<br />

flip-<strong>and</strong>-fold rear seats. The forwardflip<br />

rear seat cushions reveal a storage<br />

tub under the seat that can contain<br />

spillage while transporting a variety of<br />

items. The tub also serves as a covered<br />

storage area beneath the seat with<br />

cushions down <strong>and</strong> offer convenient<br />

grocery bag hooks when the cushions<br />

are flipped forward. A generous passthrough<br />

from the trunk can be created<br />

by flipping the seat bottoms forward<br />

<strong>and</strong> the seat backs flat – an exclusive<br />

feature in the midsize segment.<br />

The dashboard is well designed. Its<br />

controls are clean <strong>and</strong> easy to underst<strong>and</strong>,<br />

which makes it the ideal vehicle<br />

for rentals. You’ll never be confused<br />

about where everything is if you’re a<br />

road warrior renting vehicles week<br />

after week.<br />

The Impala is priced at $21,650, but<br />

it’s not possible to recommend this car<br />

based on price. I think the Chevy<br />

Malibu is a much better car <strong>and</strong> it can<br />

be acquired for a comparable price.<br />

Overall, I’m glad I experienced this<br />

car as a rental. I normally have a car<br />

for seven days <strong>and</strong> I was only behind<br />

the wheel of the Impala for four days.<br />
